Clinical efficacy and safety of drug interventions for primary and secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women: Network meta-analysis followed by factor and cluster analysis.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of drugs respectively for primary prevention and secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women (PMW), and to further identify the optimal intervention(s) respectively for the two groups when efficacy and safety both considered. We searched three databases. Bayesian network meta-analyses were conducted for two efficacy outcomes (vertebral fractures and nonvertebral fractures) and two safety outcomes (tolerability and acceptability) respectively in primary prevention group and secondary prevention group. We synthesized hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for nonvertebral fractures, and risk ratios (RRs) for three others. Factor and cluster analyses on surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values were conducted to identify the best intervention(s) with efficacy and safety both considered. The study protocol has been registered in PROSPERO. We included 57 randomized trials involving fifteen anti-osteoporotic interventions and 106320 PMW. For primary prevention, only zoledronate (once per 18 months) reduced both vertebral (RR 0.46, 95% CI 0.28-0.74) and nonvertebral (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.51-0.85) fractures. For secondary prevention, abaloparatide, alendronate, denosumab, lasofoxifene, risedronate, romosozumab, teriparatide, and zoledronate (once per 12 months) reduced both vertebral (RRs: from 0.17 to 0.62) and nonvertebral (HRs: from 0.54 to 0.81) fractures. PTH (1-84) and abaloparatide increased withdrawal risk. Romosozumab, teriparatide, denosumab and risedronate, with the greatest composite scores, constituted the optimal cluster having both superior efficacy and superior safety. Zoledronate used at 5 mg per 18 months, with the similar safety as placebo, is the only drug intervention which has been shown to significantly reduce both vertebral and nonvertebral fractures for primary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in PMW; while romosozumab, teriparatide, denosumab, and risedronate are the optimal treatments for secondary prevention when efficacy and safety both considered. A limitation is that safety outcomes failed to consider the severity of adverse effects.

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:ObjectivesEmerging evidence has indicated a role for pharmacologic agents in the primary prevention of osteoporotic fracture, but have not yet been systematically reviewed for meta-analysis. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of pharmacologic interventions in reducing fracture risk and increasing bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis but without prevalent fragility fracture.MethodThe Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases were searched from inception to September 30, 2019. Only randomized placebo-controlled trials evaluating postmenopausal women with -1.0 > bone mineral density (BMD) T-score > -2.5 (low bone mass) and those with BMD T-score ≤ -2.5 (osteoporosis) but without baseline fractures, who were receiving anti-osteoporotic agents, providing quantitative outcomes data and evaluating risk of vertebral and/or non-vertebral fragility fracture at follow-up. The PRISMA guidelines were followed, applying a random-effects model. The primary endpoint was the effect of anti-osteoporotic regimens in reducing the incidence of vertebral fractures. Secondary endpoints were percentage changes in baseline BMD at the lumbar spine and total hip at 1 and 2 years follow up.ResultsFull-text review of 144 articles yielded, 20 for meta-analysis. Bisphosphonates reduced the risk of vertebral fracture (pooled OR = 0.50, 95%CIs = 0.36-0.71) and significantly increased lumbar spine BMD after 1 year, by 4.42% vs placebo (95%CIs = 3.70%-5.14%). At the hip, this value was 2.94% (95%CIs = 2.13%-3.75%). Overall results of limited studies for non-bisphosphonate drugs showed increased BMD and raloxifene significantly decreases the risk of subsequent clinical vertebral fractures.ConclusionThe bisphosphonates are efficacious and most evident for the primary prevention of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, reducing their incidence and improving BMD in postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis.
