Association between hypoglycaemic events and fall‐related fractures in Medicare‐covered patients with type 2 diabetes

Aims: This retrospective observational study examined the association between International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD‐9‐CM)‐coded outpatient hypoglycaemic events and fall‐related fractures in Medicare‐covered patients with type 2 diabetes.
