| Abstract |
Background: Sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor possibly affects bone turnover. We conducted this cohort study to determine whether sitagliptin is associated with an increased risk of fracture. Methods: The sitagliptin cohort included 1,578 patients aged 20 years and above. The nonsitagliptin cohort comprised propensity-score matched patients at a ratio of 1:1. The primary outcome was the incidence of fractures, which was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and proportional hazards modeling. Results: The mean age of patients in the sitagliptin and nonsitagliptin cohorts was 63.1 and 63.3 years, respectively. The incidence of fractures in the sitagliptin cohort was 46 per 1,000 person-years and that in the nonsitagliptin cohort was 40.8 per 1,000 person-years. Compared with patients in the nonsitagliptin cohort, those in the sitagliptin cohort who received sitagliptin for ≥250 days had a higher risk of fracture (aHR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.06-1.64). Conclusion: Using sitaglipin ≥250 days was associated with an increased risk of fracture. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 July 2018.
All research outputs
#20,525,274
of 23,094,276 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Pharmacology
#10,322
of 16,453 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#287,968
of 328,687 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Pharmacology
#234
of 399 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,094,276 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,453 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,687 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 399 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
