Hospitalisation from fractures in New Zealand octogenarians: LiLACS NZ
In octogenarians, hospitalised fracture risk increased markedly with 5 years of ageing, almost doubling fracture-related hospitalisation time in non-Māori but having little effect on time spent in hospital for Māori. Projections of fracture burden in advanced age need to consider rapidly changing risk with small increases in age and differences between demographic groups.
