Background: Both influenza and bone fractures are significant contributors to morbidity and mortality among older adults. This study evaluated the associations between influenza vaccination (IV) and adverse outcomes following fracture-related hospitalizations in elderly individuals. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted utilizing data from a health insurance database in Taiwan. The study included 561,566 individuals aged 65 years and older who were hospitalized for fractures between 2009 and 2020. Patients were stratified according to whether they had received an IV within the 12 months preceding their fracture event. Propensity score matching was employed between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for postfracture infectious complications and 30-day mortality associated with prior IV.
