Article Abstract
Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is progressively becoming a global concern with the aging of the world's populations. Osteoporotic fractures are associated with significantly increased mortality rates and a financial burden to health systems. This Meta-analysis aims to estimate the annual incidence of osteoporotic fractures in Iran.
Methods: A comprehensive systematic literature search was performed through Medline (PubMed), Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to identify studies which contain an investigation of the incidence of osteoporotic fractures in Iran up to December 3rd 2020, with no time and language restriction. For the risk of bias assessments of studies, the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist for studies reporting prevalence data was used. The pooled estimation of the incidence of osteoporotic fractures in population aged≥50 years was calculated using random-effects meta-analysis, and the heterogeneity of included studies was quantified with the I statistic.
Results: In all, 6708 papers were initially retrieved from the electronic databases, among which seven studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled standardized annual cumulative incidence of hip fractures was estimated as 138.26 (95% CI: 98.71-193.65) per 100,000 population and 157.52 (95% CI: 124.29-199.64) per 100,000 population in men and women, respectively.
Conclusion: This study showed a high incidence rate of osteoporotic hip fractures in Iran. Early detection and treatment of individuals with higher risks of primary fragility fractures at primary health care as well as implementing fracture liaison services to prevent secondary fractures are highly recommended. The results suffer from the following limitations: first, a low number of studies that were eligible for inclusion; second, the lack of population-based studies; and presence of highly heterogeneous studies despite the use of a random effect model.

Background: The incidence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fragility fractures is increasing due to demographic changes. Therefore, early diagnosis is desirable in order to preserve bone health and prevent low-trauma fractures. Opportunistic screening for osteoporosis by frequently performed computed tomography scans could offer a potential solution.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a metabolic bone disease, characterized by loss of bone mass and destruction of bone microstructure, which has a high incidence of disability. Identification of the key factors of pathogenesis is essential for diagnosis and therapy. In this study, we have identified the proton-sensing receptor GPR65, which is specifically expressed in osteoclasts and is significantly down-expressed in osteoclast differentiation, aging, ovariectomy (OVX)-, and tail suspension (TS)-induced osteoporotic bone tissue.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) are a common complication of osteoporosis, particularly in elderly populations. Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is a minimally invasive procedure that provides pain relief and spinal stability for patients with OVCF. However, new vertebral compression fractures (NVCF) can occur in 2% to 38% of patients following PKP, posing a significant clinical challenge.

Objective: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an acute-phase protein of the pentraxin family, primarily secreted by immune cells and endothelial cells. This study analyzed its correlation with the severity of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) and its prognostic value.
Methods: Postmenopausal women (n = 405) were retrospectively selected and arranged into normal bone mineral density (BMD), osteopenia, and PMOP groups.
