ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To compare the life quality between the initial and recurrent patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) after conservative treatment, and to explore the influential factors on life quality in the recurrent fracture patients.
@*METHODS@#A total of 30 patients with recurrent fractures after the OVCFs were retrospectively observed. At the same time, 30 initial OVCFs patients with similar basic conditions to the patients in the recurrent fractures group were served as a control group. The data of the SF-36 Concise Health Status Questionnaire in the 2 groups were compared.
@*RESULTS@#The eight dimensions of the SF-36 Concise Health Status Questionnaire in the recurrent fracture group were worse than those in the control group (all P<0.01).
@*CONCLUSION@#The life quality for patients with the recurrent fracture is significantly poorer than that in the control group. The patients with recurrent fracture of the OVCFs may further affect their psychological expectation, emotion and social activities.
