The impact of incident vertebral and non-vertebral fractures on health related quality of life in postmenopausal women.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Little empirical research has examined the multiple consequences of osteoporosis on quality of life. METHODS:Health related quality of life (HRQL) was examined in relationship to incident fractures in 2009 postmenopausal women 50 years and older who were seen in consultation at our tertiary care, university teaching hospital-affiliated office and who were registered in the Canadian Database of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia (CANDOO) patients. Patients were divided into three study groups according to incident fracture status: vertebral fractures, non-vertebral fractures and no fractures. Baseline assessments of anthropometric data, medical history, therapeutic drug use, and prevalent fracture status were obtained from all participants. The disease-targeted mini-Osteoporosis Quality of Life Questionnaire (mini-OQLQ) was used to measure HRQL. RESULTS:Multiple regression analyses revealed that subjects who had experienced an incident vertebral fracture had lower HRQL difference scores as compared with non-fractured participants in total score (-0.86; 95% confidence intervals (CI): -1.30, -0.43) and the symptoms (-0.76; 95% CI: -1.23, -0.30), physical functioning (-1.12; 95% CI: -1.57, -0.67), emotional functioning (-1.06; 95% CI: -1.44, -0.68), activities of daily living (-1.47; 95% CI: -1.97, -0.96), and leisure (-0.92; 95% CI: -1.37, -0.47) domains of the mini-OQLQ. Patients who experienced an incident non-vertebral fracture had lower HRQL difference scores as compared with non-fractured participants in total score (-0.47; 95% CI: -0.70, -0.25), and the symptoms (-0.25; 95% CI: -0.49, -0.01), physical functioning (-0.39; 95% CI: -0.65, -0.14), emotional functioning (-0.97; 95% CI: -1.20, -0.75) and the activities of daily living (-0.47; 95% CI: -0.73, -0.21) domains. CONCLUSION:Quality of life decreased in patients who sustained incident vertebral and non-vertebral fractures.

Project description:BackgroundThere are many pharmaceutical interventions available to prevent osteoporotic vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women, but the efficacy and safety of these drugs are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of drugs in the prevention of osteoporotic vertebral fractures.MethodsPubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to February 15, 2020, including postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Network meta-analysis was conducted based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to report the results. This study was registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42020201167. Main Outcomes were incidences of new vertebral fracture and serious adverse events.ResultsFifty-five RCTs (n = 104 580) evaluating vertebral fractures of sixteen kinds of pharmacologic therapies were included in the network meta-analysis. Abaloparatide (RR, 0.21; [95% CI, 0.09 to 0.51]), alendronate (RR, 0.55; [95% CI, 0.38 to 0.81]), calcitonin (RR, 0.44; [95% CI, 0.25 to 0.78]), denosumab (RR, 0.33; [95% CI, 0.14 to 0.61]), parathyroid hormone (PTH) (RR, 0.32; [95% CI, 0.10 to 0.97]), risedronate (RR, 0.65; [95% CI, 0.42 to 1.00]), romosozumab (RR, 0.31; [95% CI, 0.16 to 0.61]), strontium ranelate (RR, 0.62; [95% CI, 0.42 to 0.93]), teriparatide (RR, 0.27; [95% CI, 0.17 to 0.43]), and zoledronate (RR, 0.41; [95% CI, 0.93]) were associated with lower vertebral fracture risk compared to placebo. PTH was associated with more adverse event rates. For any two drug treatments, the RR of serious adverse events was not statistically significant. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and calcitonin may be slower to work because they have only been shown to reduce the risk of vertebral fractures in long-term (>18 months) follow-up.ConclusionsA variety of drugs are safe and effective in preventing osteoporotic vertebral fractures. HRT and calcitonin only reduced the risk of vertebral fractures during a follow-up of 21-72 months.

Project description:As life expectancy increases, the prevalence of osteoporosis is increasing. In addition to vitamin D which is well established to have an association with osteoporosis, B vitamins, such as thiamine, folate (vitamin B9), and cobalamin (vitamin B12), could affect bone metabolism, bone quality, and fracture risk in humans by influencing homocysteine/folate metabolism. Despite the crucial role of B vitamins in bone metabolism, there are few studies regarding associations between B vitamin-related genes and osteoporosis. In this study, we investigated the genetic association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the 3'-untranslated regions of vitamin B-related genes, including TCN2 (encodes transcobalamin II), CD320 (encodes transcobalamin II receptor), SLC19A1 (encodes reduced folate carrier protein 1), and SLC19A2 (encodes thiamine carrier 1), with osteoporosis and osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). We recruited 301 postmenopausal women and performed genotyping of CD320 rs9426C>T,TCN2 rs10418C>T, SLC19A1 rs1051296G>T, and SLC19A2 rs16862199C>T using a polymerization chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. There was a significantly higher incidence of both osteoporosis (AOR 5.019; 95% CI, 1.533-16.430, p < 0.05) and OVCF (AOR, 5.760; 95% CI, 1.480-22.417, p < 0.05) in individuals with genotype CD320 CT+TT and high homocysteine concentrations. Allele combination analysis revealed that two combinations, namely CD320 C-TCN2 T-SLC19A1 T-SLC19A2 C (OR, 3.244; 95% CI, 1.478-7.120, p < 0.05) and CD320 T-TCN2 C-SLC19A1 G-SLC19A2 C (OR, 2.287; 95% CI, 1.094-4.782, p < 0.05), were significantly more frequent among the osteoporosis group. Our findings suggest that SNPs within the CD320 gene in 3´-UTR may contribute to osteoporosis and OVCF occurrences in some individuals. Furthermore, specific allele combinations of CD320, TCN2, SLC19A1, and SLC19A2 may contribute to increased susceptibility to osteoporosis and OVCF.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate whether thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK) of the spine is related to the reduction of bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal osteoporosis women, and whether BMD of postmenopausal osteoporosis women can predict the occurrence of TLK.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included 224 postmenopausal female patients hospitalized for osteoporosis from December 2017 to December 2020, and the control group included 270 postmenopausal female patients hospitalized for thoracolumbar degenerative diseases. The age, body mass index (BMI), visual analogue scale (VAS), and BMD of the lumbar spine [BMD(L)] and femoral neck [BMD(F)] of all patients during admission were recorded. We measured and recorded the Cobb angle of thoracolumbar and the height of the thoracolumbar intervertebral space in the spinal X-ray lateral radiograph. The Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients were used to calculate the correlation between each parameter in the group. The Chi-square test was used for categorical variables, the independent-sample t-test was used for normally distributed continuous variables, and two-sample non-parametric tests were used for non-normally distributed variables. Binary logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to determine independent risk factors and cut-off values, respectively.ResultsThere were significant differences in the BMD(L), BMD(F), thoracolumbar junction Cobb angle, lumbar spine Cobb angle, T11/12-L1/2 height difference of the posterior and anterior edge of intervertebral space (HDPAIS), single vertebra Cobb angle (SVC), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH)D] between the study and control groups. Through binary logistic regression analysis, we found that BMD(L), PINP, bone alkaline phosphatase, and 25-(OH)D were independent risk factors for future TLK in postmenopausal women. According to the ROC curve, the prediction accuracy of BMD(L) was the highest. By calculating the critical value, we found that when the BMD(L) T-score <-1.65, postmenopausal women were more likely to develop TLK.ConclusionsIn postmenopausal osteoporosis patients, TLK will occur even if there is no compression fracture, and when the BMD(L) T-score <-1.65, postmenopausal women are more likely to develop TLK in the future.

Project description:In this population-based, cross-sectional study, we investigated vertebral fracture (VF) prevalence among Chinese postmenopausal women. We found 14.7% of population had VFs, which increased with age. Age ≥ 65 years, hip fracture, and densitometric osteoporosis were significantly associated with VFs. The prevalence of osteoporosis was remarkably high.PurposeTo investigate VF prevalence among Chinese postmenopausal women in this population-based, randomized-sampling, cross-sectional study.MethodsThe investigator obtained lists of women from communities. Randomization was performed using SAS programming based on age group in each region. Postmenopausal women aged ≥ 50 years in the urban community were included. The investigator interviewed subjects to collect self-reported data and measured BMD. Spine radiographs were adjudicated by Genant's semi-quantitative method. VFs were defined as fractures of at least one vertebra classified by Genant's score 1-3 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics.ResultsA total of 31,205 women listed for randomized sampling from 10 Tier-3 hospitals at 5 regions. Of 2634 women in the full analysis set, 14.7% (388/2634, 95% CI: 13.4, 17.1) had prevalent VFs. VF prevalence increased with age (Cochran-Armitage test p < 0.0001) and was significantly higher in women aged ≥ 65. VF prevalence did not differ between North (14.4%, 95% CI: 12.5, 16.4) and South China (15.1%, 95% CI: 13.3, 17.1). In women with no prior VFs, prevalent VFs were 12.4% (95% CI: 11.2, 13.7). Age ≥ 65 years (OR: 2.57, 95% CI: 1.91, 3.48), hip fracture (OR: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.09, 4.76), and densitometric osteoporosis (OR: 2.52, 95% CI: 1.96, 3.22) were significantly associated with prevalent VFs. Prevalence of osteoporosis was 32.9% measured by BMD and 40.8% using NOF/IOF clinical diagnosis criteria.ConclusionVFs are prevalent among Chinese postmenopausal women who were ≥ 50 years and community-dwelled. Osteoporosis prevalence is remarkable when fragile fractures were part of clinical diagnosis.

Project description:This network meta-analysis assessed the efficacy of abaloparatide versus other treatment options to reduce the risk of fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The analysis indicates that abaloparatide reduces the risk of fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis versus placebo and compared with other treatment options.IntroductionThis network meta-analysis (NMA) assessed the relative efficacy of abaloparatide versus other treatments to reduce the risk of fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO).MethodsPubMed®, Embase®, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized controlled trials published before December 20, 2017, that included women with PMO who were eligible to receive interventions for primary or secondary fracture prevention. The NMA was conducted by fracture site (vertebral [VF], nonvertebral [NVF], and wrist), with the relative risk (RR) of fracture versus placebo the main clinical endpoint. The NMA used fixed-effects and random-effects approaches.ResultsA total of 4978 articles were screened, of which 22 were included in the analysis. Compared with other treatments, abaloparatide demonstrated the greatest treatment effect relative to placebo in the VF network (RR?=?0.13; 95% credible interval [CrI] 0.04-0.34), the NVF network (RR?=?0.50; 95% CrI 0.28-0.85), and the wrist fracture network (RR?=?0.39; CrI 0.15-0.90). Treatment ranking showed that abaloparatide had the highest estimated probability of preventing fractures in each of the networks (79% for VF, 70% for NVF, and 53% for wrist fracture) compared with other treatments. Individual networks demonstrated a good level of agreement with direct trial evidence and direct pair-wise comparisons.ConclusionsThis NMA indicates that abaloparatide reduces the RR of VF, NVF, and wrist fracture in women with PMO with or without prior fracture versus placebo, compared with other treatment options. Limitations include that adverse events and drug costs were not considered, and that generalizability is limited to the trial populations and endpoints included in the NMA.
