    ObjectiveTo evaluate the risk factors of new osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).MethodsFrom January 2016 to November 2019, patients suffering from OVCFs were retrospectively reviewed. The independent influence factors for new OVCFs after PVP were assessed, from following variables: age, sex, body mass index, bone mineral density (BMD), history of alcoholism, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, glucocorticoid use, and prior vertebral fractures, the number of initial fractures, mean cement volume, method of puncture, D-type of cement leakage, and regular antiosteoporosis treatment.ResultsA total of 268 patients with 347 levels met the inclusion criteria and were finally included in this study. Forty-nine levels of new OVCFs among 33 patients (12.31%) were observed during the follow-up period. It indicated that female (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 6.812, 95% confidence interval {CI}: [1.096, 42.337], P = 0.040), lower BMD (adjusted OR: 0.477, 95% CI: [0.300, 0.759], P = 0.002), prior vertebral fractures (adjusted OR: 16.145, 95% CI: [5.319, 49.005], P = 0.000), and regular antiosteoporosis treatment (adjusted OR: 0.258, 95% CI: [0.086, 0.774], P = 0.016) were independent influence factors for new OVCF. The cut-off value of BMD to reach new OVCF was -3.350, with a sensitivity of 0.660 and a specificity of 0.848.ConclusionFemale, lower BMD (T-score of lumbar), prior vertebral fractures, and regular antiosteoporosis treatment were independent influencing factors. BMD (T-score of lumbar) lower than -3.350 would increase risk for new OVCF, and none osteoporotic treatment has detrimental effect on new onset fractures following PVP.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
