In this international study, we examined the incidence of hip fractures, postfracture treatment, and all‐cause mortality following hip fractures, based on demographics, geography, and calendar year. We used patient‐level healthcare data from 19 countries and regions to identify patients aged 50 years and older hospitalized with a hip fracture from 2005 to 2018. The age‐ and sex‐standardized incidence rates of hip fractures, post‐hip fracture treatment (defined as the proportion of patients receiving anti‐osteoporosis medication with various mechanisms of action [bisphosphonates, denosumab, raloxifene, strontium ranelate, or teriparatide] following a hip fracture), and the all‐cause mortality rates after hip fractures were estimated using a standardized protocol and common data model. The number of hip fractures in 2050 was projected based on trends in the incidence and estimated future population …
