Identification of factors predictive of contralateral secondary hip fractures in patients after initial hip fracture - A prospective observational study.

Although the presence of three or more pre-existing vertebral fractures was identified as a risk factor for contralateral secondary fractures in the Cox regression analyses, the two-group comparison showed a higher prevalence in the fracture group (22.6%) than in the non-fracture group (11.9%); however, this difference did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.090).
