Key Points

  • Thoracic osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are primarily caused by recurrent cough during COVID-19.
  • Key factors include lung disease treatment, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and the use of thoracic braces.
  • Analysis of patient data during the COVID-19 normalization period highlights critical risk factors.
  • These findings emphasize the need for targeted prevention strategies for vulnerable patient populations.

Abstract

During COVID-19 normalization, cough is the top OVCF cause; thoracic fractures rise. The four factors above are independent risks. For elderly COVID-positive patients with recurrent cough, lung disease treatment, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and thoracic braces prevent thoracic OVCF.
