Antiosteoporosis medications and cardiovascular disease: a population-based nationwide nested case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Patients with osteoporosis are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several antiosteoporosis medications have been demonstrated with the benefit of preventing osteoporosis. Our aim is to assess the CVD risks associated with antiosteoporosis medications using the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan between 2000 and 2016. Methods: Among 41,102 patients of 40+ years old with newly diagnosed osteoporosis, 69.1% (N = 28,387) of patients were included in the user cohort of antiosteoporosis medicines, of whom 13, 472 developed CVD by the end of 2016, while 14,915 did not. Using the nested case-control analysis in the user cohort (88.0% women and 77.4% elderly), we applied conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) of eight types of CVD for the users of denosumab, bisphosphonate, teriparatide, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Results: The adjusted ORs of overall CVDs were 0.13 (95% CI: 0.12-0.15) for denosumab users, 0.52 (95% CI: 0.45-0.61) for teriparatide users, and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.76-0.85) for bisphosphonate users. The HRT users were at higher odds of coronary artery and peripheral artery diseases, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis. Conclusion: Denosumab, teriparatide, and bisphosphonate may have more protective effects against CVD than hormone therapy. Physicians may take subsequent cardiovascular risks into account when choosing an adequate antiosteoporosis medication for patients with osteoporosis.

Project description:ObjectiveOur objective was to describe the incidence of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) in a large unselected cohort, to validate the culprit drugs involved and the frequency of SJS/TEN for each drug, and to analyze the clinical risk factors for SJS/TEN.MethodsUsing the computerized database of Clalit Health Services, we identified all adult patients with a new SJS/TEN diagnosis between 1 January, 2008 and 30 June, 2019 and validated each case. Cumulative incidence of SJS/TEN for each culprit drug was calculated by dividing the number of valid cases by the total number of new users of the drug in the study period. Using risk-set sampling, 20 controls were matched to each case by sex and age on the index date for a nested case-control analysis. Multivariable conditional logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for the association of incident SJS/TEN with chronic diseases.ResultsWe identified 87 adult cases of true/probable SJS/TEN between 1 January, 2008 and 30 June, 2019. Culprit drugs [with ALDEN scores ascertained as at least probable (≥ 4)] associated with the highest absolute risks were phenytoin, lamotrigine, and allopurinol with 3.56, 2.82, and 1.10 SJS/TEN cases/10,000 new users, respectively. Additional drugs with mean ALDEN scores ≥ 4 were sunitinib, sulfasalazine, carbamazepine, etoricoxib, etodolac, and cefuroxime, cumulative incidence: 13.57, 0.72, 0.32, 0.05, 0.02, and 0.02/10,000 new users, respectively. Previous diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, previous drug allergies, epilepsy, malignancy, history of cerebrovascular accident, and history of diabetes mellitus were associated with an increased risk for SJS/TEN, odds ratios (95% confidence interval):17.41 (1.31-230.72), 10.28 (3.61-29.31), 5.21 (2.95-9.19), 4.92 (1.88-12.85), 3.17 (1.77-5.66), 2.61 (1.26-5.41), and 1.98 (1.12-3.53), respectively.ConclusionsAttention should be drawn to drugs assessed by high ALDEN scores that were associated with high absolute risks for SJS/TEN. Psoriasis, former drug allergies, in addition to systemic lupus erythematosus, malignancy, history of cerebrovascular accident, and diabetes mellitus were associated with increased SJS/TEN risk in our analysis.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the association between use of menopausal hormone therapy and development of dementia according to type of hormone treatment, duration of use, and age at usage.DesignNationwide, nested case-control study.SettingDenmark through national registries.Participants5589 incident cases of dementia and 55 890 age matched controls were identified between 2000 and 2018 from a population of all Danish women aged 50-60 years in 2000 with no history of dementia or contraindications for use of menopausal hormone therapy.Main outcome measuresAdjusted hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals for all cause dementia defined by a first time diagnosis or first time use of dementia specific medication.ResultsCompared with people who had never used treatment, people who had received oestrogen-progestogen therapy had an increased rate of all cause dementia (hazard ratio 1.24 (95% confidence interval 1.17 to 1.33)). Increasing durations of use yielded higher hazard ratios, ranging from 1.21 (1.09 to 1.35) for one year or less of use to 1.74 (1.45 to 2.10) for more than 12 years of use. Oestrogen-progestogen therapy was positively associated with development of dementia for both continuous (1.31 (1.18 to 1.46)) and cyclic (1.24 (1.13 to 1.35)) regimens. Associations persisted in women who received treatment at the age 55 years or younger (1.24 (1.11 to 1.40)). Findings persisted when restricted to late onset dementia (1.21 (1.12 to 1.30)) and Alzheimer's disease (1.22 (1.07 to 1.39)).ConclusionsMenopausal hormone therapy was positively associated with development of all cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease, even in women who received treatment at the age of 55 years or younger. The increased rate of dementia was similar between continuous and cyclic treatment. Further studies are warranted to determine whether these findings represent an actual effect of menopausal hormone therapy on dementia risk, or whether they reflect an underlying predisposition in women in need of these treatments.
