Proportion of patients, by sex and age group, receiving any osteoporosis treatment within 1 year prior* to and during the time of index fragility fracture and at any time post index fracture. * ≤ 1 year prior period included osteoporosis treatments dispensed within 1 year prior to and during the time of index fracture, and also captured the period of 7 days post index fracture hospital discharge date (to reflect a potential delay in the dispensing of osteoporosis treatments prescribed at the time of the index event). Post index event dispensed osteoporosis treatments were assessed from 8 days post index fracture hospital discharge date until the end of study follow-up. Osteoporosis treatments examined in this cohort included bisphosphonates (alendronate, etidronate, risedronate, or zoledronic acid), denosumab, teriparatide, raloxifene, and HRT
