Kristensen J, et al. - In patients aged 65 and older with the first episode of stroke, researchers estimated the incidence of fractures, possibly caused by falls, and estimated the incidence of fracture types for this group of patients, as well as examined stroke severity and marital status, as risk factors for fractures. From the Danish Stroke Registry between January 2003 and December 2017, a large retrospective data-set of 116,519 patients with the first episode of stroke was extracted. Between 2003-2017, the incidence rate of fractures poststroke was 41.07 per 1,000 person-years in Denmark. A total of 15,872 sustained a fracture and the risky mean time until 3.67 years poststroke result was achieved. The most common fracture type was femur fracture. Mild, moderate, severe and unknown severity of the stroke are correlated with fractures after stroke vs very severe stroke, and living alone at stroke time is related to fractures after stroke vs living with someone.
