Résumé
Background
Bone loss and fractures are critical post-kidney transplantation (KT) complications. We evaluated age-stratified screening practices, treatment patterns, and fracture incidence in a nationwide KT cohort.
Methods
Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database (2003-2020), we analyzed 34 758 adult KT recipients. Screening practices (bone mineral density [BMD] testing), medication continuity, and incident fractures were assessed across age groups (< 50, 50-64, ≥ 65 years).
