Incidence of hip fracture in the Republic of Ireland and future projections: a population-based study

Abstract We identify the yearly trends in the prevalence of various ocular traumas in the Republic of Korea, and the effects of Covid-19. We recorded the yearly numbers of patients diagnosed with hyphema and those who underwent open reduction surgery because of orbital blowout fracture (BOF), primary closure of the cornea or sclera (PCCS), or intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal. The incidence of closed globe injuries has decreased significantly over the past 10 years, while that of open globe injuries has not. The patients aged ≥ 60 years showed a significant increase in BOF surgery. Regarding the trend in PCCS, while other age groups showed significant decreases, the population aged ≥ 60 years did not. In addition, the population aged ≥ 60 years showed a significant increase in the incidence of IOFB. When the 2020 data were compared with those of 2019, hyphema evidenced the largest decrease (27.02%), especially in those aged < 20 years (54.33%). In terms of both BOF and IOFB, those aged < 20 years showed the largest decreases (28.85% and 47.93% respectively). In the Covid-19 era, ocular trauma fell markedly in those aged < 20 years, perhaps because of school closures and reductions in outdoor activities.

Abstract Background This nationwide population-based study sought to investigate the risk of spine and hip fracture in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Methods Using the 2007–2016 data from the Korean national health insurance claims database, we calculated incidence rate and incidence rate ratios (IRR) of spine and hip fracture in patients with IBD (n = 18,228; 64.1% male, 65.9% ulcerative colitis [UC]) compared with age- and sex- frequency matched subjects in 1:10 ratio (n = 186,871). A Cox regression model was used to evaluate risk of spine and hip fracture. Results The incidence rate and IRR of spine and hip fracture in IBD were 2.88/1000 person-years and 1.21 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11–1.31) during the median follow-up of 4.5 years. The risk for spine and hip fracture was significantly higher in UC (IRR 1.39, 95% CI, 1.25- 1.54), whereas it was not significantly higher in Crohn’s disease (IRR 0.85, 95% CI, 0.67- 1.06) than matched controls. In UC, the IRR of spine fracture was 1.41 (95% CI, 1.24–1.58) and the IRR of hip fracture was 1.40 (95% CI, 1.11–1.71). In multivariable analysis using the Cox regression model, the risk of spine and hip fracture increased with age (p trend < 0.001), in female patients (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.94; 95% CI, 1.50–2.51) and in patients with comorbidities including osteoporosis (aHR 2.86; 95% CI, 2.10–3.89), stroke (aHR 2.74; 95% CI, 1.78–4.21) hypertension (aHR 1.82; 95% CI, 1.38–2.41), diabetes mellitus (aHR 1.67; 95% CI, 1.25–2.24) and dyslipidaemia (aHR 1.36; 95% CI, 1.05–1.78). Conclusion In a population-based study from Korea, we found that the risk for spine and hip fracture increased in patients with IBD, especially in UC patients. Also, this risk increased in patients who are older, female, or have comorbidities.
