Study description and baseline characteristics of the population enrolled in a multinational, observational study of teriparatide in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: the Asia and Latin America Fracture Observational Study (ALAFOS).

CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that patients who were prescribed teriparatide in the ALAFOS participant countries had severe osteoporosis, high prevalence of fractures, disabling back pain, and poor QoL. The frequency of patients receiving prior osteoporosis medications was lower than in previous observational studies conducted in other geographies. PMID: 30474449 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
