Efficacy and safety of medical therapy for low bone mineral density in patients with Crohn disease: A systematic review with network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a frequent complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly in patients with Crohn disease (CD). The aim of our study is to determine the efficacy and safety of different drugs used to treat low BMD in patients with CD.

Methods

PUBMED/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for eligible studies. A random-effects model within a Bayesian framework was applied to compare treatment effects as standardized mean difference (SMD) with their corresponding 95% credible interval (CrI), while odds ratio (OR) was applied to compare adverse events with 95% CrI. The surface under the cumulative ranking area (SUCRA) was calculated to make the ranking of the treatments for outcomes.

Results

Twelve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were eligible. Compared with placebo, zoledronate (SMDs 2.74, 95% CrI 1.36-4.11) and sodium-fluoride (SMDs 1.23, 95% CrI 0.19-2.26) revealed statistical significance in increasing lumbar spine BMD (LSBMD). According to SUCRA ranking, zoledronate (SUCRA = 2.5%) might have the highest probability to be the best treatment for increasing LSBMD in CD patients among all agents, followed by sodium-fluoride (27%). For safety assessment, the incidence of adverse events (AEs) demonstrated no statistical difference between agents and placebo. The corresponding SUCRA values indicated that risedronate (SUCRA = 77%) might be the most safe medicine for low BMD in CD patients and alendronate ranked the worst (SUCRA = 16%).

Conclusions

Zoledronate might have the highest probability to be the best therapeutic strategy for increasing LSBMD. For the safety assessment, risedronate showed the greatest trend to decrease the risk of AEs. In the future, more RCTs with higher qualities are needed to make head-to-head comparison between 2 or more treatments.

Project description:In patients with low bone mineral density (BMD) after kidney transplantation, the role of bisphosphonates remains unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of bisphosphonates.We retrieved trials from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from inception through May 2015. Only randomized controlled trials that compared bisphosphonate-treated and control groups of patients with low bone mineral density after kidney transplantation were included. The primary outcomes were the percent change in BMD, the absolute change in BMD, and the BMD at the end of study at the lumbar spine. The results were expressed as the mean difference (MD) or relative risk (RR) with the 95% confidence interval (CI). We used a random-effects model to pool the outcomes.We included 17 randomized controlled trials with 1067 patients. Only 1 included trial was found to be at low risk of bias. The rest of the included studies were found to have high to uncertain risk of bias. Compared with the control group, those who received bisphosphonates had a significant increase in percent change in BMD (mean difference [MD] = 5.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.22-7.79, P < 0.00001) and absolute change in BMD (MD = 0.05, 95% CI 0.04-0.05, P < 0.00001), but a nonsignificant increase in BMD at the end of the study (MD = 0.02, 95% CI -0.01 to 0.05, P = 0.25) at the lumbar spine. Bisphosphonates resulted in a significant improvement in percent change in BMD (MD = 4.95, 95% CI 2.57-7.33, P < 0.0001), but a nonsignificant improvement in absolute change in BMD (MD = 0.03, 95% CI -0.00 to 0.06, P = 0.07) and BMD at the end of the study (MD = -0.01, 95% CI -0.04 to 0.02, P = 0.40) at the femoral neck. No significant differences were found in vertebral fractures, nonvertebral fractures, adverse events, and gastrointestinal adverse events.Bisphosphonates appear to have a beneficial effect on BMD at the lumbar spine and do not significantly decrease fracture events in recipients. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously due to the lack of robustness and the heterogeneity among studies.

Project description:IntroductionPatients with haemophilia (PWH) may have lower bone mineral density (BMD). The risk of low BMD in PWH has not been comprehensively analysed. This study aimed to examine the risk of low BMD and changes in BMD in PWH.MethodsA comprehensive systematic search was performed in 4 databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The last search was carried out on 11 December 2022. Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 16 were used for meta-analysis. Odds ratios were calculated by the incidence of low BMD between the haemophilia and control groups in each study. A meta-analysis of the odds ratios for each study was performed to estimate pooled odds ratios. Fixed effects models or random effects models were used to assess outcomes. Heterogeneity was evaluated using Higgins' I2. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to interpret the potential source of heterogeneity. A funnel plot, Egger's regression test, and the trim-and-fill method were used to assess publication bias.Results19 of 793 studies, published between 2004 and 2022, that were identified by search strategy were included in this meta-analysis. The risk for low BMD was approximately four times higher compared to controls. PWH have significantly lower lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip BMD. Subgroup analysis showed that the risk of low BMD did not increase significantly in developed countries. Very low heterogeneity was observed in the meta-analysis of the risk of low BMD. The result from Egger's regression test suggested that there may be publication bias. However, the meta-analysis results did not alter after the trim-and-fill correction and the findings were robust.ConclusionHaemophilia was associated with an increased risk of low BMD. However, the risk of low BMD did not increase significantly in developed countries. And BMD was reduced in PWH, regardless of age, region, or economic ability. For PWH, our concerns should extend beyond bleeding and osteoarthritis to encompass BMD starting at a young age.

Project description:Background: Crohn disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects quality of life. There are several drugs available for the treatment of CD, but their relative efficacy is unknown due to a lack of high-quality head-to-head randomized controlled trials. Aim: To perform a mixed comparison of the efficacy and safety of biosimilars, biologics and JAK1 inhibitors for CD. Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, embase and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to Dec. 28, 2020. Only RCTs that compared the efficacy or safety of biosimilars, biologics and JAK1 inhibitors with placebo or another active agent for CD were included in the comparative analysis. Efficacy outcomes were the induction of remission, maintenance of remission and steroid-free remission, and safety outcomes were serious adverse events (AEs) and infections. The Bayesian method was utilized to compare the treatments. The registration number is CRD42020187807. Results: Twenty-eight studies and 29 RCTs were identified in our systematic review. The network meta-analysis demonstrated that infliximab and adalimumab were superior to certolizumab pegol (OR 2.44, 95% CI 1.35-4.97; OR 2.96, 95% CI 1.57-5.40, respectively) and tofacitinib (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.27-5.97; OR 3.10, 95% CI 1.47-6.52, respectively) and revealed the superiority of CT-P13 compared with placebo (OR 2.90, 95% CI 1.31-7.59) for the induction of remission. Infliximab (OR 7.49, 95% CI 1.85-34.77), adalimumab (OR 10.76, 95% CI 2.61-52.35), certolizumab pegol (OR 4.41, 95% CI 1.10-21.08), vedolizumab (OR 4.99, 95% CI 1.19-25.54) and CT-P13 (OR 10.93, 95% CI 2.10-64.37) were superior to filgotinib for the maintenance of remission. Moreover, infliximab (OR 3.80, 95% CI 1.49-10.23), adalimumab (OR 4.86, 95% CI 1.43-16.95), vedolizumab (OR 2.48, 95% CI 1.21-6.52) and CT-P13 (OR 5.15, 95% CI 1.05-27.58) were superior to placebo for steroid-free remission. Among all treatments, adalimumab ranked highest for the induction of remission, and CT-P13 ranked highest for the maintenance of remission and steroid-free remission. Conclusion: CT-P13 was more efficacious than numerous biological agents and JAK1 inhibitors and should be recommended for the treatment of CD. Further head-to-head RCTs are warranted to compare these drugs.
