- Abstract
We sought to determine whether patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have an increased risk of osteoporosis and related fractures using the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS). Patients with IBS had increased adjusted odds of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures compared to the non-IBS control group, controlling for known risk factors for osteoporosis. Screening measures to identify osteoporosis in this group are advised.
