Introduction Predicting when fracture incidence will rise assists in healthcare planning and delivery of preventative strategies. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between temperature and the incidence of hip and wrist fractures. Methods Data for adults presenting to our unit with a hip or wrist fracture over a seven and eight-year period respectively were analysed. Incidence rates were calculated and compared with meteorological records. A Poisson regression model was used to quantify the relationship between temperature and fracture rate. Results During the respective study periods, 8,380 patients presented with wrist fractures and 5,279 patients were admitted with hip fractures. All women (≥50 years: p<0.001; <50 years: p<0.001) and men aged ≥50 years (p=0.046) demonstrated an increased wrist fracture rate with reduced temperature. Men aged <50 years also had an increased wrist fracture rate with increased temperature (p<0.001). The hip fracture rate was highest in women aged ≥50 years but was not associated with temperature (p=0.22). In men aged ≥50 years, there was a significant relationship between reduced temperature and increased fracture rate (p<0.001). Conclusions Fragility fracture of the wrist is associated with temperature. Compared with an average summer, an additional 840 procedures are performed for wrist fractures during an average winter in our trust with an additional 798 bed days taken up at a cost of £3.2 million. The winter increase seen in male hip fracture incidence requires approximately 888 surgical procedures, with 18,026 bed days, and costs £7.1 million. Hip fracture incidence in older women is not related to temperature.

Bone fractures of the skeleton with a minor injury is a clinical manifestation of osteoporosis and its population-based marker. The incidence of hip fracture varies in different geographic areas and ethnic groups. The aim was to study incidence of hip fractures in patients older than 40 years in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia, Russian federation) in 2011-2013 and to compare the data with the previous study at the same region performed in 1997-2003. Material and methods. The study is a part of a multi-center international project «Epidemiological study of osteoporotic fractures in Eurasia (EVA).» It was a retrospective study followed by a prospective one. In the retrospective part the information on hip fracture cases registered in the official documents of the orthopedic service in 2011-2012 was collected. The prospective part was conducted in 2013, it was aimed at the identification of the patients with a hip fracture, applied not only in orthopedic department but also to other medical professionals, such as general practitioners. Results. Overall, in three years 426 hip fractures were reported in the city of Yakutsk. The total number of fractures in women was 286 (67.1%), in men - 140 (32.9%). We observed the increase in hip fracture incidence in 2013 (192 cases per 100,000 population in men and 283 per 100,000 in women 50 years old and older) which was 12% higher than in 2011 and 2012. We owe it to improved registration of hip fractures in the group of women 85 years old and older. The hip fracture incidence in this study significantly exceed the data of previous study 15 years ago. Conclusion. In recent years, there is an increase in incidence rates of hip fracture in Yakutsk due to improved hospitalization rates in orthopedic service.

Pubmed Database

Studies over the last few decades have demonstrated geographic variation in the incidence of hip fracture across continents and among different parts of the same region. This paper studies the epidemiology of hip fracture worldwide, with special emphasis on the geographic variation among Asian countries. Using the Pubmed database, keywords that were employed included hip fracture, incidence rate, geographic variation, osteoporosis, and epidemiology. Articles were chosen based on the basis of (1) focus: studies that were said to specifically focus on geographic variation in hip fracture from different continents with a focus on Asia; (2) language: studies that were in English; (3) methods: studies that used statistical tests to examine hip fracture incidence rates. The highest hip fracture rates are seen in Scandinavian countries and the US and the lowest in African countries. Fracture rates are intermediate in Asian populations. Among different ethnic populations, the highest fracture rates are seen in Caucasians and the lowest in blacks. There is also a north-south gradient, particularly in Europe, where more hip fractures occur in North Europe compared to the South.
