Reduced all-cause mortality with bisphosphonates among post-fracture osteoporosis patients: a nationwide study and systematic review
In conclusion, bisphosphonate use, especially persistence to intravenous bisphosphonates (e.g., zoledronic acid), may reduce post-fracture mortality among osteoporosis patients, particularly those with hip/vertebral fractures. This supports the rational use of bisphosphonates in post-fracture care.PMID:35561128 | DOI:10.1002/cpt.2645 (Source: Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics)

An open ‐label randomized study of the relative absorption of gastro‐resistant risedronate taken fasted or with food versus immediate‐release risedronate
This study compared the relative absorption of four formulations of gastro-resistant risedronate 35 mg (formulations 1 –4) taken fasted or with food vs. immediate-release risedronate 35 mg taken fasted. AbstractPatients with osteoporosis often take oral bisphosphonates with food, rendering these medications ineffective. This study compared the relative absorption of four formulations of gastro-resistant (GR; formulations 1 –4) risedronate 35 mg versus immediate-release (IR) risedronate 35 mg taken fasted. Secondarily, it compared the relative absorption of GR formulations administered fed and fasted, and determined t...

Risedronate for the primary and secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women
CONCLUSIONS: This update recaps the key findings from our previous review that, for secondary prevention, risedronate 5 mg/day probably prevents non-vertebral fracture, and may reduce the risk of hip fractures. We are uncertain on whether risedronate 5mg/day reduces clinical vertebral and wrist fractures. Compared to placebo, risedronate probably does not increase the risk of serious adverse events. For primary prevention, the benefit and harms of risedronate were supported by limited evidence with high uncertainty.PMID:35502787 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD004523.pub4 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Cost-effectiveness of romosozumab for the treatment of postmenopausal women at very high risk of fracture in Canada
ConclusionRomosozumab/alendronate was associated with reduced costs and greater benefit relative to other comparators. Probabilistic, deterministic, and scenario analyses indicate that romosozumab/alendronate represents the best value for money; the uncertainty analyses are robust, and therefore romosozumab should be considered for reimbursement by public drug plans in Canada .

Effect of Denosumab Compared With Risedronate on Bone Strength in Patients Initiating or Continuing Glucocorticoid Treatment
ABSTRACTIn a randomized clinical trial in patients initiating glucocorticoid therapy (GC-I) or on long-term therapy (GC-C), denosumab every 6 months increased spine and hip bone mineral density at 12 and 24  months significantly more than daily risedronate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of denosumab compared with risedronate on bone strength and microarchitecture measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in GC-I and GC-C. A subset of 110 pati ents had high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans of the distal radius and tibia at bas...

Comorbidity and osteoporotic fracture: approach through predictive modeling techniques using the OSTEOMED registry
CONCLUSION: In general, sex, age and the number of comorbidities did not influence the likelihood that a given anti-osteoporotic treatment improved the risk of incident fragility fractures after 1 year, but this appeared to increase when patients had been treated with risedronate, strontium or teriparatide. The two models used classified patients similarly, but predicted differently in terms of the probability of improvement, with logistic regression being the better fit.PMID:35435583 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-022-02129-5 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)
