This study focused on the trends in antiosteoporosis drug preferences and compared the incidence of fractures between patients treated orally and those who were exposed to an awareness campaign and assigned to intravenous/subcutaneous treatment.
Our hospital registry included 1,716 osteoporotic women who were over 65 years of age without preexisting vertebral and nonvertebral fractures over 1 year before this study, with bone mineral density (BMD) < -2.5 standard deviation (SD) and fracture assessment tool (FRAX) score > 20%, who were given 1,337 oral and 379 intravenous/subcutaneous prescriptions to treat their osteoporosis. Self-administered surveys (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016) collected data on trends of preferences among nine drugs and fracture prevention using relative risk reduction (RRR).
The number of patients taking oral prescriptions decreased gradually from 2012 to 2016, while the number of patients treated with intravenous and subcutaneous injections increased. The incidence of fracture was lower in patients receiving intravenous and subcutaneous injections than in patients taking oral medications.
These findings indicate a decrease in oral prescriptions for osteoporosis treatment and that treatment for osteoporosis using intravenous or subcutaneous injections of antiosteoporosis drugs is more effective for preventing fractures.
本研究聚焦于抗骨质疏松药物偏好趋势,并比较口服治疗患者与接受宣传活动并被指定接受静脉/皮下治疗患者之间的骨折发生率。
我们的医院登记册纳入了1716名65岁以上的骨质疏松女性,她们在本研究前1年无既往椎体和非椎体骨折,骨密度(BMD)< -2.5标准差(SD)且骨折评估工具(FRAX)评分> 20%,这些患者接受了1337份口服和379份静脉/皮下处方来治疗骨质疏松症。自行填写的调查问卷(2012年、2013年、2014年、2015年和2016年)收集了关于九种药物偏好趋势以及使用相对风险降低率(RRR)预防骨折的数据。
从2012年到2016年,口服处方患者数量逐渐减少,而接受静脉和皮下注射治疗的患者数量增加。接受静脉和皮下注射的患者骨折发生率低于口服药物的患者。
这些发现表明骨质疏松症治疗的口服处方减少,并且使用抗骨质疏松药物进行静脉或皮下注射治疗在预防骨折方面更有效。
