Impact of COVID-19 Severity on Physical Function, Mobility, Falls and Fractures Among Older Patients After Hospitalization: A Longitudinal Study
Background/Purpose: No longitudinal studies have examined the impact of COVID-19 or COVID-19 severity on physical function and disability outcomes among older adults. Multiple factors, including…Abstract Number: 0503 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Effect of Social Isolation on 1-Year Outcomes After Surgical Repair of Low Trauma Hip Fracture
Background/Purpose: Hip fractures are a serious public health issue with a significant population burden, especially among those over 65 years old. Social isolation—how integrated a…Abstract Number: 1331 • ACR Convergence 2022
Risk Factors for Osteoporotic Fracture in Women with Established Long-Term Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a predictor of osteoporotic fracture. However, individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who sustain "osteoporosis-related" fractures frequently have normal…Abstract Number: 0574 • ACR Convergence 2022
Osteoporosis in Elderly Men; An Underestimated and Underdiagnosed Morbid Entity
Background/Purpose: 20-25% of osteoporosis-related fractures occur in men and the mortality of osteoporotic fractures is higher in men [1]. Nevertheless, no uniform consensus exists for…Abstract Number: 1431 • ACR Convergence 2022
Impact of Tofacitinib on Fracture Risk in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Preclinical data suggest that tofacitinib stimulates osteoblast function and would have a protective effect on bone health and fracture risk in RA.1 We report…Abstract Number: 0576 • ACR Convergence 2022
Comparative Effectiveness of Osteoporosis (OP) Therapies Among a Population of Postmenopausal (PM) Women in the United States (U.S.)
