See how your state compares. Explore the geographic pattern of osteoporosis-related fractures for women age ≥ 50 in your area.
Included patients were those with a diagnosis of osteoporosis, a fracture, or treatment for osteoporosis during the study period August 2018–August 2023
Percentages include patients with a fracture, August 2018–August 2022. The patient’s activity was then monitored for 12-months following the most recent fracture, and the number of patients without any services billed from a doctor’s office or stand-alone clinic, outside of a hospital setting, (not only office/clinics that manage osteoporosis care) or a DXA scan during that 12-month follow-up period is reported. Data were calculated as the number of women with a fracture and with no evidence of an office/clinic visit or procedure code for a DXA scan, divided by the number of women with at least one fracture, August 2018–August 2022.
Fractures include patients with one or more medical claims with a diagnosis or procedure code for a fracture during the study period. Fractures were defined as fractures of the hip, femur, pelvis,vertebra, humerus, radius/ulna, tibia/fibula, or clavicle.
