Characteristics and outcomes of inpatients aged 85 and older with thoracolumbar vertebral fractures: impact on hospital stay and mortality
VFs are a severe event in oldest-old patients with a crucial risk of poor medical outcomes during hospitalization. The fracture morphologies are of central importance. However, little is known about the hospital stay of oldest-old inpatients with VFs. Considering an aging population, further investigations would be recommended.
