چکیده
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on the incidence of hip fractures. METHODS All patients with acute hip fractures admitted to Jyväskylä Central Hospital in 1991-93 (n=517) were selected from the hospital discharge register. Medical records of these patients were studied retrospectively for RA fulfilling the American Rheumatism Association criteria. The prevalence of RA in patients with hip fractures was compared with the prevalence rates of RA obtained from the nearby city of Tampere. RESULTS 29 (5.6%; 95% CI 3.8 to 8.0) of the patients with hip fracture in Jyväskylä Central Hospital had RA. The age and sex adjusted risk of hip fractures was increased by RA (risk ratio 3.26; 95% CI 2.26 to 4.70). CONCLUSIONS Patients with RA are at increased risk of osteoporotic hip fractures.

متن کاملRisk of osteoporotic fracture in a large population-based cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis
INTRODUCTION Although osteoporosis has been reported to be more common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), little is known whether the risk of osteoporotic fractures in these patients differs by age, sex, and anatomic site. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a health care utilization database. Incidence rates (IRs) and rate ratios (RRs) of osteoporotic fractures ...
