The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus, hip fracture, and post-hip-fracture mortality: a multi-state cohort analysis

Abstract

Recent studies have suggested an increased hip fracture risk in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes (T2DM), whilst failing to model the effect of T2DM status on subsequent post-fracture mortality. We used novel multi-state cohort analyses to estimate the association between T2DM and the transitions to hip fracture, fracture-free death, and post-hip-fracture mortality
