Article Synopsis
- Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) lead to major health challenges, and vertebroplasty is a common treatment whose effectiveness and safety remain controversial due to varied results in studies.
- This study performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate vertebroplasty's safety, particularly its link to serious adverse effects and new fractures, while considering different influencing factors.
- Analysis of 14 RCTs showed no significant difference in new fracture rates between vertebroplasty and control groups, but vertebroplasty was linked to fewer serious adverse effects.
Background: Despite a significant clinical and social burden, there is a relative scarcity of epidemiological studies on Personality Disorder (PD).
Aim: To determine the current prevalence of PD and the psychosocial correlates associated with this in the Andalusian population.
Method: We carried out a cross-sectional population mental-health survey in Andalusia, southern Spain.
