Hip fractures more common after gabapentinoid treatment: Aussie study
Frailty increases the odds of fracture, underlining the need for careful patient selection, researchers add.
Older patients dispensed gabapentinoids have a nearly twofold increased risk of hip fracture, Monash University researchers have found.
Their study of more than 28,000 Victorians hospitalised for hip fracture found that those with frailty and chronic kidney disease (CKD) were also over-represented.
