Spine scan findings linked to fractures and death in older adults

Over three years, 6.8% of 46,219 older hospital patients had osteoporosis-related fractures requiring hospitalization and 27.9% died; scan findings helped predict both.Over three years, 6.8% of 46,219 older hospital patients had osteoporosis-related fractures requiring hospitalization and 27.9% died; scan findings helped predict both.
