^aVertebral fracture and non-vertebral fracture are subsets of pathologic fracture.

n = Number of SREs with at least one inpatient stay within facility type and SRE type. (If an SRE required stays in more than one facility type, a stay was attributed to each facility type for the appropriate duration. If an SRE had multiple inpatient stays within one facility type, the total duration of inpatient stays was counted).

SD-standard deviation, SRE-skeletal-related event.
