OBJECTIVES: To assess incidence and identify risk factors of subsequent fractures among patients with an osteoporotic fracture in Tianjin China, and compare 2-year healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and direct medical costs between those with and without subsequent fractures. METHODS: Data were obtained from Tianjin Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance database. Patients who were ≥ 50 years old, with ≥ 1 diagnose of osteoporotic fracture between 2009 and 2011, and had continuous enrollment 12-month before (baseline) and 24-month after (follow-up) the first fracture were identified. HRU and direct medical costs during follow-up were assessed. Comparisons between patients with and without subsequent fractures were conducted using t and chi-square tests. Logistic regression was used to evaluate risk factors associated with subsequent fractures. RESULTS:
