Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the association of socioeconomic factors, country of birth and comorbidities with poor patient-reported outcome 1 year after a distal radial fracture. The patient population was obtained from the Swedish Fracture Register. In the study, 17,468 patients 18 years or older were included. Poor outcome was the dependent variable in a multivariate logistic regression analysis. The factors with the strongest association with poor outcome were country of birth outside the European Union (odds ratio (OR) = 2.28; 95% CI = 1.91-2.73), high-energy trauma mechanism (OR = 1.76; 95% CI = 1.46-2.12), a history of anxiety or depression (OR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.26-1.70), and a Charlson comorbidity index ≥3 (OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.17-1.94). Alleviating the effects of these factors could potentially decrease the proportion of patients with a disability after a distal radial fracture.Level of evidence: III.
