A Comparative Analysis of International Classification Systems to Predict the Risk of Collapse in Single-Level Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures.

Introduction: Various classifications for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) have been introduced to enhance patient care and facilitate clinical communication. However, there is limited evidence of their effectiveness in predicting vertebral collapse, and very few studies have compared this association across different classification systems. This study aims to investigate the association between OVF categories, according to the most widely used classification systems, and vertebral collapse.

Which is the role of driver- or passengers-sex on the severity of road crashes?

Aim: The aim of the study is to quantify the main ways in which the sex of the driver/occupant of a passenger car affects the severity of road crashes.
