  1. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
  2. Results in each column are referent to patients with osteoarthritis. Each row represents a unique model.
  3. * adjusted for demographic variables (age, gender, race, geographic region, median household income, rural/urban), predisposing conditions (AMI, CHF, peripheral vascular disease, cardiovascular disease, dementia, COPD, peptic ulcer disease, diabetes with and without complications, paraplegia, chronic kidney disease, cancer, severe liver disease, Alzheimers, hypertension, osteopenia, osteoporosis), prior history of fractures (hip, ankle, clavicle, distal radius/ulna, other radius/ulna, carpal bone, spine, tibia-fibula, humerus, femur, pelvis), health services utilization (hospital days, number of physician visits, days in long term care, physician specialty)
