TL;DR: The association between obesity and fracture in postmenopausal women is site‐dependent, obesity being protective against hip and pelvis fractures but associated with an almost 30% increase in risk for proximal humerus fractures when compared with normal/underweight women.

TL;DR: This study provides local estimates of age, sex and site-specific fracture burden in primary health care, which will be helpful for health-care planning and delivery.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the associations of tramadol compared with codeine, with mortality and other adverse clinical outcomes as used in outpatient settings, and found that tramadols were significantly associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, fractures, constipation, delirium, falls, opioid abuse/dependence, and sleep disorders within 1 year after the first dispensation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported an absolute and relative excess post-fracture mortality following a fracture in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients compared to non-diabetic patients.

TL;DR: Monthly risedronate, weekly alendronsate, and daily teriparatide are the drugs with the best persistence, whilst daily oral drugs have 40–60 % higher first-year discontinuation rates compared toweekly alendronate.
