Epidemiological aspects of severe osteoporosis prevalence
Abstract
The main aim of this project was to reveal the primary morbidity of low-energy proximal femur fractures in women aged 50 years and older living in the Gomel region (Republic of Belarus). There was observed a difference between the primary morbidity of hospitalized patients and of patients who received treatment at home. Often women aged 80 years and older with fractures had treatment two times more at home than in hospitals. Real primary morbidity of proximal femur fractures should be calculated not only for hospitalized patents, but also for patients at home.
