AbstractVertebral osteoporotic fracture is a common type of fracture, and the incidence is higher in the elderly. However, the relationship between vertebral osteoporotic fractures and interleukin-8 (IL-8) remains unclear. A total of 163 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures were recruited. Clinical and follow-up data were recorded, and the expression levels of IL1, MMP9, IL-8, and C-reactive protein in blood were measured. Pearson Chi-square test and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to analyze the relationship between vertebral osteoporotic fractures and related parameters. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression were used for further analysis. Pearson chi-square test, Spearman correlation coefficient and Logistic regression analysis showed that IL1 and IL-8 were significantly associated with vertebral osteoporotic fractures. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age and IL-8 expression level were significantly associated with maintenance time from recovery to recurrence of vertebral osteoporotic fractures. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that IL-8 expression level was significantly associated with maintenance time from recovery to recurrence of vertebral osteoporotic fractures. The higher the expression level of IL-8, the more likely it is to develop vertebral osteoporotic fracture, and the more likely it is to relapse in a short time.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
