Objective:

To evaluate the association between race and ethnicity and post-fracture mortality, refracture, destitution, and quality-of-care metrics in Medicare beneficiaries with Type 2 diabetes who sustained low-trauma hip fractures.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Higher mortality risk and longer hospital stays were observed in patients with Type 2 diabetes post-hip fracture.
    • Disparities in screening and treatment for osteoporosis were noted, particularly among Black individuals.
    Interpretation:

    Limitations:
    • Data may not fully represent the experiences of Asian, Hispanic, and Native American individuals due to limited sample sizes.
    • Algorithmic classification of race and ethnicity may have inaccuracies, particularly for Asian and Hispanic individuals.
    Conclusion:
