Letter to the Editor From Karakilic and Saygili: “Radiological Thoracic Vertebral Fractures Are Highly Prevalent in COVID-19 and Predict Disease Outcomes”

We read with great interest a published article in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism titled “Radiological thoracic vertebral fractures are highly prevalent in COVID-19 and predict disease outcomes” (1). This article focuses on an exciting topic about COVID-19 that has not been covered before and reports that the presence of vertebral fracture may predict COVID-19 mortality and that mortality is higher in those with moderate/severe fractures.
