Abstract

Multinational reports suggest Ireland has one of the greatest illness burdens related to osteoporosis. Hospital care represents the costliest portion of health services. We found public hospital bed days for fragility fractures in Ireland increased by 43% between 2008 and 2017 which exceeded those for other common diseases.
