Abstract
Background and Aims
Hip fracture incidence rate is higher in dialysis patients than in general population. We investigated and compared temporal changes in age-standardized hip fracture incidence rate (ASRhip fracture) 2007-2016 in men and women in the dialysis population and in the general population.
Method
We used the population-based Swedish national database of fractures and the Swedish Renal Registry of ESRD patients to retrieve data on ASRhip fracture in the general population and among dialysis patients. The average annual percent change of the hip fracture incidence trend was evaluated by join-point regression analysis according to gender in the two databases.
Results
ASRhip fracture was about three times higher in Swedish dialysis patients as compared to the Swedish general population. In dialysis patients, rates have steadily declined during the recent decade when assessed in both sexes combined, and when analysed in women and men separately. A similar trend was also seen in the general population; however, the rate of decline was steeper in dialysis patients than in the general population. The most recent data on ASRhip fracture (for 2016) show that ASRhip fracture was similar among female and male dialysis patients whereas ASRhip fracture in the general population was higher in women than in men.
Conclusion
Hip fracture incidence is declining in the general population and even more so in dialysis patients. In contrast to the general population where hip fracture incidence in 2016 is higher among women than in men, there was no such difference between the two sexes among dialysis patients.
