A schematic illustration of the participant selection process that was used in the present study. Out of a total of 1,125,691 participants, 27,295 DRF participants were selected. The DRF participants were matched 1:4 with a control group that were not diagnosed with DRF. Unmatched and <50-year-old patients were excluded (n = 14,131). Finally, 13,164 DRF patients and 52,656 control participants were included. DRF = distal radius fracture.
