Prevalence and patterns of anti-osteoporotic drug use based on 2019 real-world nationwide data in Greece
ConclusionsLess than half of the estimated number of individuals with osteoporosis in 2019 in Greece received treatment, with the total annual cost being far less than the estimated cost of incident-fragility fractures. The impact of this undertreatment on related health care costs merits further investigation. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Anemia is associated with increased risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fractures in elderly men: the MrOS Sweden cohort
ConclusionsAnemia is associated with an increased risk for any fracture and non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture in elderly men with a long follow-up time. The cause is probably multifactorial and our results support that anemia can be used as a predictor for future fracture. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Safety of denosumab versus zoledronic acid in the older adults with osteoporosis: a meta-analysis of cohort studies
ConclusionThe present meta-analysis demonstrated that for cancer-free adults aged 50  years or older with osteoporosis, denosumab was as safe as zoledronic acid for the risk of drug-induced fractures. However, denosumab had a lower incidence of composite cardiovascular disease, and may be a better option for the population with cardiovascular disease. Nonetheless, due to limitation s like a short-term follow-up, gender, and incomplete types of adverse effects, more randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are required to further verify this conclusion.

Changing trends in hip fracture epidemiology in the Republic of Ireland: a follow-up study
ConclusionsHip fracture numbers continue to increase, though the age-specific incidence rates in the Republic of Ireland are reducing in the older age groups. The previously published study over-estimated hip fracture projections for the year 2016 (and potentially 2026) due to a false assumption of a stable age-specific incidence rate in the Republic of Ireland, which is in fact reducing.

Clinical features and burden of osteoporotic fractures among the elderly in the USA from 2016 to 2018
ConclusionBetween 2016 and 2018, the incidence rate of OFs remained relatively stable, but the total number of cases was huge. OFs was predominantly age-related, mostly in vertebrae and femurs, with relatively stable cost and mortality during hospitalization. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Age-dependent assessment thresholds to optimize patient care in a resource-limited setting: an analysis based on the Sri Lankan FRAX model
ConclusionsIn nearly one-third of women aged 40  years or more, the decision to treat or not to treat can be achieved without BMD estimation. The remaining two-thirds will require a BMD assessment for further evaluation. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

An 11-year longitudinal analysis of refracture rates and public hospital service utilisation in Australia ’s most populous state
ConclusionThis analysis provides a detailed picture of refractures and associated projected service utilisation and costs over the next decade in Australia ’s most populous state. Understanding the burden of refracture provides a foundation for evaluation of a novel statewide ORP model of care to prevent refractures in people aged ≥ 50 years.
