Abstract
A history of AF was associated with an increased risk of hip fracture in this large, population-based analysis. This association appeared to remain significant even after adjusting for potential confounders such as age, comorbidities and medication use. Patients with a history of AF may represent a clinical population in whom screening for and treatment of osteoporosis may be warranted to reduce the risk of subsequent fracture.
