Teriparatide treatment in severe osteoporosis - a controlled 10-year follow-up study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:1011. [PMID: 36424580 PMCID: PMC9686095 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05987-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Teriparatide was the first anabolic agent recommended for the treatment of osteoporosis. Long-term real-world, controlled studies are not available. The purpose was to evaluate the long-term effects of treatment with teriparatide on fractures and Health Related Quality of Life in subjects with established osteoporosis in comparison with placebo treated patients with osteoporosis and the general population. METHODS A 10-year follow-up was performed after a prospective, open-labelled study with teriparatide 20 μg given subcutaneously daily for a mean of 18 months (range 14-24 months) in 40 women, mean age 69 years, with osteoporosis and vertebral compression. Placebo treated women, n = 25, mean age 60 years, from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled growth hormone trial with daily subcutaneous injections for 18 months, with osteoporosis were used as controls. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and questionnaires were performed at start, after 18 months, after 36 months and after 10 years. Women, n = 233, of similar age from a random population sample, also served as controls and were followed in parallel. All fractures were X-ray verified. RESULTS Fractures decreased from 100 to 35% in the teriparatide treated patients (p < 0.0001) to similar levels as in the population sample, 25 to 28% at start and after 10 years, respectively. Bone mineral density increased on teriparatide but returned to levels at treatment start after 10 years. Health Related Quality of Life was lower in the teriparatide group than in the population (p < 0.001) before and, after treatment and at 10 years. CONCLUSIONS Anabolic hormonal treatment with teriparatide reduced fracture prevalence to similar levels as in the general population at 10 years' follow-up. Health Related Quality of Life was low in osteoporosis and unaffected by bone specific treatment.

Abstract
The Asian and Latin America Fracture Observational Study (ALAFOS) is a prospective, observational, single-arm study conducted in 20 countries across Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. ALAFOS evaluated new clinical vertebral and non-vertebral fragility fractures in relation to time on teriparatide, in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in real-life clinical practice. Clinical fragility fractures, back pain, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were recorded in 6-month intervals for ≤ 24 months during teriparatide treatment and up to 12-months post-treatment. Data were analysed with piecewise exponential regression with inverse probability weighting for time to event outcomes and mixed-model repeated measures for back pain and HRQoL. 3054 postmenopausal women started teriparatide and attended ≥ one follow-up visit (mean [SD] age 72.5 [10.4] years). The median (95% CI) time to treatment discontinuation was 22.0 months (21.2, 22.8). During the treatment period, 111 patients (3.6%) sustained 126 clinical fractures (2.98 fractures/100 patient-years). Rates of new clinical fragility fractures were significantly decreased during the > 6-12, > 12-18, and > 18-24-month periods, as compared with the first 6 months of treatment (hazard ratio [HR] 0.57; 95% CI 0.37, 0.88; p = 0.012; HR 0.35; 95% CI 0.19, 0.62; p < 0.001; HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.23, 0.83; p = 0.011; respectively). Patients also reported an improvement in back pain and HRQoL (p < 0.001). These results provide data on the real-world effectiveness of teriparatide in the ALAFOS regions and are consistent with other studies showing reduction of fractures after 6 months of teriparatide treatment. These results should be interpreted in the context of the noncontrolled design of this observational study.

A Phase IV Study of the Safety and Efficacy of CinnoPar ® in Iranian Patients with Osteoporosis. J Osteoporos 2021; 2021:7584308. [PMID: 34194720 PMCID: PMC8184341 DOI: 10.1155/2021/7584308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 04/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The safety of teriparatide has been studied in various phase III and phase IV trials. However, a postmarketing study of the biosimilar of teriparatide, CinnoPar®, has not been conducted on Iranian patients. This was a phase IV study conducted on osteoporotic patients who received an Iranian teriparatide biosimilar with a dose of 20 μg daily. The primary outcome of this study was to monitor for adverse events (AEs). Effectiveness as the secondary outcome was measured using the EQ-5D quality-of-life questionnaire and back pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score. Among 193 analyzed patients between September 2015 and March 2019, the most common AEs were hypercalcemia (4%), nausea, and pain (3%). No deaths, serious AEs, or other significant AEs occurred in this study. The mean EQ-5D scores decreased after the course of the treatment from 2.3 ± 0.66 at the baseline to 2 ± 0.66. The mean back pain VAS scores also decreased from 4.9 ± 3.6 at baseline to 1.8 ± 2.1 at the end of the study. Both changes were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Consistent with the findings of previous studies and the drug monograph, no new safety concern was observed with this biosimilar teriparatide, and the drug was effective based on the VAS score and EQ-5D in osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
Improving patient health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and prevention of bone fracture are important components of the treatment of osteoporosis. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the effect of denosumab treatment in improving HRQOL among patients with osteoporosis. Our analysis was based on 332 patients with osteoporosis, followed for 24 months. All patients received denosumab (60 mg) subcutaneously every 6 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed at the distal radius, with serum concentration of calcium, phosphate, P1NP, and TRACP5b also measured. HRQOL assessment included pain (visual analogue scale [VAS]) and the EQ-5D questionnaire. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify the possible confounders associated with deterioration in the EQ-5D utility score in response to denosumab treatment. Denosumab treatment yielded a 3.4% increase in BMD at 24 months. Serum levels of TRACP5b and P1NP decreased significantly, from baseline, at 6 months, with no effect on calcium and phosphate levels. Pain VAS and EQ-5D utility score improved significantly, from baseline, at 6 months, with the EQ-5D utility score correlating with the BMD at all time points of measurement over the 24-month period of observation. Knee osteoarthritis and multiple comorbidities were significantly associated with a worse HRQOL in response to denosumab treatment. Denosumab treatment increased BMD, with improvements in BMD correlating with improved HRQOL, supporting a possible benefit of using denosumab for the treatment of osteoporosis. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
This study aimed to describe clinical outcomes in patients prescribed teriparatide and followed up for 18 months after stopping the drug in real-life conditions. The Extended Forsteo® Observational Study analysed incident clinical fractures in 6-month intervals using logistic regression with repeated measures. Changes in back pain (visual analogue scale) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL; EQ-5D questionnaire) were analysed using mixed models for repeated measures. Patients were analysed if they had a post-baseline visit, regardless of whether and for how long they took teriparatide. Of 1531 patients analysed (90.7% female, mean age: 70.3 years), 76 (5.0%) never took teriparatide. Median treatment duration was 23.6 months. The adjusted odds of clinical fracture decreased by 47% in the > 12- to 18-month treatment period (p = 0.013) compared with the first 6-month period, with no statistically significant reduction in the > 18- to 24-month interval. The clinical fracture rate remained stable during the 18 months' post-teriparatide, when approximately 98% of patients took osteoporosis medication (51% bisphosphonates). Clinical vertebral fractures were reduced at every time period compared with the first 6 months. Adjusted mean back pain scores decreased and EQ-5D scores increased significantly at each post-baseline observation. In a real-life clinical setting, the risk of clinical fractures declined during 24 months of teriparatide treatment. This reduction was maintained 18 months after stopping teriparatide. In parallel, patients reported significant improvements in back pain and HRQoL. The results should be interpreted in the context of the non-controlled design of this observational study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Japan Fracture Observational Study (JFOS), a prospective observational study, investigated the real-world effectiveness of daily teriparatide to reduce clinical fracture risk in osteoporotic patients. METHODS In routine clinical practice, Japanese patients initiated on teriparatide 20 μg/day by subcutaneous injection were enrolled. The primary end-point was the rate of clinical fractures at 6-month intervals over 24 months. Bone mineral density (BMD), procollagen type 1 aminoterminal propeptide (P1NP), back pain, and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) information was collected. RESULTS Of 1,996 patients at baseline, 90.1% were female, and mean age was 76.9 years. Teriparatide persistence at 12 and 24 months was 68.0% and 51.6%, respectively. Compared to the first 6-month treatment interval, the odds ratio of fractures decreased by 56.4% during 6-12 months, 51.6% during 12-18 months, and 58.8% during 18-24 months (all p < .01). After 24 months, BMD increased by 17.2% (lumbar spine) and 7.9% (total hip). After 6 months, P1NP levels increased by 259.3%. A reduction in back pain (100 mm visual analog scale) of 16.1 mm at 3 months was maintained through 24 months. HRQoL (pain, daily living activities, general health) improved by ≥10% at each post-baseline time point. Of 279 (14.6%) patients with ≥1 adverse event (AE), 71 (3.7%) experienced ≥1 drug-related AE (investigator assessed), including nausea (0.7%), dizziness (0.4%), and decreased appetite (0.3%). Osteosarcoma was not reported; there were no new safety signals. CONCLUSIONS JFOS demonstrated effectiveness of teriparatide 20 μg/day to reduce the risk of clinical fractures in Japanese patients in a real-world setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Qianggu Capsule, a Chinese patent medicine, has been widely applied in the clinical practice of primary osteoporosis (POP) in recent years. This study aims to summarize the effectiveness and safety of Qianggu Capsule in treating POP. METHODS We searched seven electronic databases, all searches ended in 30 September, 2015. All randomised controlled trials comparing the efficacy of Qianggu Capsule treatment with no treatment, placebo or conventional therapy for POP were included. Combined therapies of Qianggu Capsule were also included. Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess methodological quality of primary studies. Revman 5.2.0 software was used for data analysis. RESULTS Ten trials were enrolled. The combined effect showed that Qianggu Capsule plus Caltrate D was better than Caltrate D on lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) (MD = 0.05 g/cm2; 95% CI: 0.02-0.07; P = 0.0004), femoral neck BMD (MD = 0.03 g/cm2; 95% CI: 0.01-0.05; P = 0.001), femoral great trochanter BMD (MD = 0.04 g/cm2; 95% CI: 0.03-0.06; P < 0.001). Meta-analysis exhibited a significant antiosteoporosis effect of Qianggu Capsule on femoral neck BMD (MD = 0.03 g/cm2; 95% CI: 0.01-0.05; P = 0.003) and femoral trochanteric BMD (MD = 0.07 g/cm2; 95% CI: 0.02-0.12; P = 0.006) compared with α-D3 capsule. However, the methodological quality of included studies was low. Constipation and dry mouth were the most common adverse drug reactions of Qianggu Capsule. Finally the evidence level was evaluated to be low or very low. CONCLUSIONS The effect of Qianggu Capsule for POP was supported in improving BMD. Due to the methodological drawbacks of the included studies, the conclusions should be treated with caution for future research.

Enhanced Wnt signaling improves bone mass and strength, but not brittleness, in the Col1a1(+/mov13) mouse model of type I Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Bone 2016; 90:127-32. [PMID: 27297606 PMCID: PMC4985001 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2016.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2015] [Revised: 05/30/2016] [Accepted: 06/04/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) comprises a group of genetic skeletal fragility disorders. The mildest form of OI, Osteogenesis Imperfecta type I, is frequently caused by haploinsufficiency mutations in COL1A1, the gene encoding the α1(I) chain of type 1 collagen. Children with OI type I have a 95-fold higher fracture rate compared to unaffected children. Therapies for OI type I in the pediatric population are limited to anti-catabolic agents. In adults with osteoporosis, anabolic therapies that enhance Wnt signaling in bone improve bone mass, and ongoing clinical trials are determining if these therapies also reduce fracture risk. We performed a proof-of-principle experiment in mice to determine whether enhancing Wnt signaling in bone could benefit children with OI type I. We crossed a mouse model of OI type I (Col1a1(+/Mov13)) with a high bone mass (HBM) mouse (Lrp5(+/p.A214V)) that has increased bone strength from enhanced Wnt signaling. Offspring that inherited the OI and HBM alleles had higher bone mass and strength than mice that inherited the OI allele alone. However, OI+HBM and OI mice still had bones with lower ductility compared to wild-type mice. We conclude that enhancing Wnt signaling does not make OI bone normal, but does improve bone properties that could reduce fracture risk. Therefore, agents that enhance Wnt signaling are likely to benefit children and adults with OI type 1.

Abstract
We describe the pre-planned interim analysis of fracture outcomes, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and back pain in patients with severe osteoporosis treated with teriparatide for up to 24 months in the Extended Forsteo (Forsteo(®) is a registered trade name of Eli Lilly and Company) Observational Study (ExFOS), a prospective, multinational, observational study. Data on incident clinical fractures, HRQoL (EQ-5D questionnaire) and back pain [100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS)] were collected. The number of patients with fractures was summarised in 6-month intervals and fracture rate over each 6-month period was assessed using logistic regression for repeated measures. Changes from baseline in EQ-5D and back pain VAS were analysed using mixed models for repeated measures. Of 1454 patients in the active treatment cohort, 90.6 % were female and 14.4 % were taking glucocorticoids. During teriparatide treatment (median duration 23.7 months), 103 patients (7.1 %) sustained a total of 122 incident clinical fractures (21 % vertebral, 79 % non-vertebral). A 49 % decrease in the odds of fractures and a 75 % decrease in the odds of clinical vertebral fractures were observed in the >18- to 24-month period versus the first 6-month period (both p < 0.05). EQ-5D scores and back pain VAS scores were significantly improved from baseline at each post-baseline observation during teriparatide treatment. In conclusion, patients with severe osteoporosis showed a significant reduction in the incident fracture rate during 24 months of teriparatide treatment in routine clinical practice, accompanied by a significant improvement in HRQoL and reduction in back pain. Results should be interpreted in the context of the non-controlled design of this observational study.

This postmarketing surveillance study assessed the safety and effectiveness of teriparatide in patients with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture in Japan. The patients received teriparatide 20 μg daily by subcutaneous injection, for a maximum of 24 months. Safety and effectiveness analyses were based on data from 1,847 patients who were predominantly female (92.6%) with a mean age of 75.4 years. A total of 157 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were reported in 140 (7.58%) patients; the most common ADRs were hyperuricemia, nausea, and dizziness. Only six (0.32%) patients reported serious ADRs, the most common being nausea (two patients; 0.1%). Persistence with teriparatide treatment was 60.8% and 39.1% at 18 and 24 months, respectively. There were significant increases in biomarkers for bone formation (procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase) and bone resorption (collagen type I cross-linked C telopeptide and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b) throughout the study. These were accompanied by significant increases in bone mineral density and low incidences of new vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. Patient-reported measurements for health-related quality of life revealed significant improvements from baseline in back pain and overall health-related quality of life (Short Form-8™ health survey). The results of this 24-month postmarketing surveillance study imply that teriparatide has a favorable safety profile and is effective in the treatment of patients with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture in Japan. Teriparatide may also be a useful treatment for osteoporosis in other societies with aging populations.

A systematic review on the use of daily subcutaneous administration of teriparatide for treatment of patients with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture in Asia. Osteoporos Int 2015; 26:11-28. [PMID: 25138261 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-014-2838-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2013] [Accepted: 07/31/2014] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
This systematic review aimed to examine the evidence for teriparatide in Asia for osteoporosis with a high fracture risk and for exploratory (unapproved) bone-related indications. MEDLINE (1946+), EMBASE (1966+), and ClinicalTrials.gov (2008+) were searched (16 August 2013); all studies of daily subcutaneous teriparatide 20 μg for bone-related conditions from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Republic of Korea, Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan were included. Evidence on efficacy/safety was retrieved primarily from randomized controlled trials (10 publications) of postmenopausal women from Japan and China. In these studies, teriparatide was well tolerated; subjects had significantly greater increases in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) from baseline compared with placebo, antiresorptive agents, or elcatonin/calcitonin; bone turnover markers increased from baseline and were sustained at elevated levels during teriparatide treatment. Few studies reported fracture risk, pain, or quality of life; one study showed a lower incidence of new-onset vertebral fracture with teriparatide versus antiresorptive agents. Nonrandomized studies (nine publications, one unpublished trial) conducted mainly in Taiwan, Japan, and the Republic of Korea provided supporting data for efficacy. The exploratory (unapproved) use of teriparatide (17 publications) for fracture healing and osteonecrosis of the jaw was described primarily in case reports. The clinical effectiveness of teriparatide for treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who are at high risk of fracture in Asia is focused primarily on improvements in BMD and tolerability. Recommended additional studies may include assessment of fracture risk and the effect of teriparatide on pain, quality of life, and mortality in Asia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This report from the Japan Fracture Observational Study (JFOS) describes the design of the study, baseline characteristics of the patients, and interim results. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is an interim analysis from an ongoing observational study of male and female patients with osteoporosis initiating daily teriparatide treatment observed at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months. There was no control group. Baseline data were collected on demographic characteristics, medical and osteoporosis history, prior use of medications and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This interim analysis includes preliminary information concerning incidence of clinical fractures, bone mineral density (BMD), procollagen type 1 aminoterminal propeptide (P1NP), back pain, HRQoL, and adverse events. RESULTS Baseline observations were completed for 1810 patients; 90.1% were female. Compared with osteoporotic patients treated with teriparatide in other observational studies, those in JFOS were older but had fewer osteoporosis risk factors. The incidence of clinical fractures was 2.9% at 6 months and 3.7% at 12 months. At 12 months, mean BMD was 8.9% higher at the lumbar spine and 0.8% higher at the total hip compared to baseline. At 6 months, the median serum concentration of P1NP was 187.7% higher than at baseline. At 12 months, back pain scores assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) were lower and HRQoL scores were higher than at baseline. No new safety signals were observed. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report from an observational study of daily teriparatide in Japanese osteoporotic patients at high risk of fractures. Patients in JFOS were older but had fewer osteoporosis risk factors than those treated with teriparatide in other observational studies. The interim analysis suggests that the clinical profile of teriparatide in the real world is similar to that observed in clinical trials and observational studies conducted in Europe and the United States.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of treatment in patients at high risk for fractures is to reduce the risk of a first or a subsequent fracture. New data are available on the antifracture effects and side-effects of antiresorptive and osteoanabolic drugs, and new emerging therapies with new modes of action are on the horizon. RECENT FINDINGS Calcium and vitamin D intake should be sufficient, but not too high. Vertebral, nonvertebral (including hip fracture) prevention with antiresorptive drugs such as bisphosphonates (alendronate, risedronate and zoledronic acid) and denosumab exceeds the risk of rare side-effects such as atypical femur fracture and osteonecrosis of the jaw. Teriparatide is an osteoanabolic drug that improves quality of life in severe osteoporosis. Strontium ranelate decreases dynamic parameters of bone formation during the first year of treatment, and could increase the risk of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients. Initiation of and adherence to fracture prevention drugs are still low. New potential developments in antiresorptive drugs include odanacatib, a selective inhibitor of cathepsin K, and, in osteoanabolic drugs, monoclonal antibodies against sclerostin. SUMMARY These recent data indicate that fracture prevention with antiresorptives and teriparatide is effective with a reasonable safety profile. Odanacatib and antisclerostin are promising new drugs with new mechanisms of action, as they are able to disconnect the normal coupling between bone resorption and bone formation.

Abstract
During the past 2 decades, many interventions were proven effective in the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The objective of an anti-osteoporosis treatment is to reduce fracture rates, ideally at all skeletal sites (i.e. spine, hip, and other non-spine). The armamentarium against osteoporosis includes anti-resorptive agents (i.e. bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators and denosumab), bone-forming agents (i.e. peptides from the parathyroid hormone family) and one agent with a dual mechanism of action (i.e. strontium ranelate). All these medications combine antifracture efficacy with a reasonable benefit/risk profile. However, the choice of a particular chemical entity, in one individual patient is based on the knowledge and expertise of the physician. Prioritization of drugs should be based on the individual profile of the patient, the severity of osteoporosis and the specific contraindications, warnings and precautions of use of the various available medications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is predominantly a condition of the elderly. In this study, we evaluated the effects of teriparatide on lung function and pain relief in elderly women with multiple osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS A total of 37 patients who received teriparatide treatment during the period January 2010 to December 2011 were enrolled. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans were used to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and lung function was measured using a MasterScreen Body Jaeger spirometer. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) values were recorded. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain were used to evaluate physical health and pain intensity, respectively, at baseline and after 6 months of teriparatide treatment. RESULTS Mean BMD at the lumbar spine increased from 0.716 g/cm(2) at baseline to 0.829 g/cm(2) after 6 months of treatment. In addition, both mean FVC and FEV1 values after 6 months of treatment were significantly higher than baseline values (99.01% and 100.06% vs. 87.62% and 90.62%, respectively). Teriparatide treatment also resulted in a significant reduction in self-reported pain intensity and a significant improvement in physical health as measured by VAS and ODI scores, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In addition to increasing BMD, teriparatide treatment improves the lung function and results in diminished pain intensity in women with multiple osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To better characterize patients who are currently being prescribed teriparatide in Europe, this article describes the study design and baseline characteristics of participants of the Extended Forsteo * Observational Study (ExFOS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS ExFOS is a noninterventional, multicenter, prospective, observational study in men and women with osteoporosis treated with teriparatide during the course of normal clinical practice for up to 24 months and with a post-treatment follow-up of at least 18 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Baseline characteristics, including history of fracture and back pain, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL, assessed using the EuroQol-5 Dimension [EQ-5D]). RESULTS Of 1607 patients enrolled, 90.9% were women. At baseline, mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 70.3 (9.8) years, and 85.8% of patients had a history of fracture (64.7% with ≥2 fragility fractures). Of those with historic fractures, 90.8% had vertebral fractures (67.8% had thoracic fractures). The mean (SD) of reported bone mineral density T-scores were -3.0 (1.2), -2.4 (1.0), and -2.5 (0.9) for lumbar spine, total hip (left), and femoral neck (left), respectively. Overall, 39.3% of patients had experienced ≥1 fall during the 12 months before enrollment. At baseline, 11.4% of patients were osteoporosis-treatment naïve and 15% were currently using glucocorticoids. The mean (SD) visual analog scale score for back pain during the last month was 50.7 (26.9), and 62.1% of patients experienced daily or almost daily back pain. The median EQ-5D health state value at baseline was 0.62 (first and third quartiles: 0.19, 0.74). CONCLUSIONS Baseline characteristics of the ExFOS study cohort indicate that patients prescribed teriparatide in Europe have severe osteoporosis with highly prevalent vertebral fractures, frequent and disabling back pain, and a poor HRQoL, despite previous pharmacotherapy for osteoporosis. Limitations include non-randomization, lack of a comparator group, and patient self-report for data on prior medication and fracture history.
