Abstract
Alem et al. [ 1 ] have compared the incidence of hip fractures in US dialysis patients [based on United States Renal Data System (USRDS) Registry data] with that of the general population, based on data from Olmstead County (Minnesota). They report a four times higher incidence in dialysed patients matched for age, gender and race (the study being limited to Caucasians).Keywords
