This is the largest study characterizing clinical features of PLO to date. The large number of participants and broad range of clinical and fracture characteristics queried has yielded novel information on the characteristics of PLO and potential risk factors for its severity, including primiparity, exposure to heparin and CD. These findings provide important preliminary data that can help target future mechanistic investigations.
