Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is the most common inherited form of bone fragility and includes a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders that most commonly result from defects associated with type I collagen. Although genetic analyses have been developed, nationwide research on the incidence and associated fractures in OI is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the patterns of OI prevalence, incidence, fracture rate, etc. in South Korea using National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) claims data. We found 1596 patients newly diagnosed with OI between March 2002 and February 2020. We evaluated the incidence, prevalence, and history of fractures, fracture site, prescription of anti-osteoporosis drugs, etc. To compare medical costs, fracture rates, and scoliosis rates, we created a control group comprising patients without OI using 1:1 propensity score matching. The prevalence of OI increased slightly each year, with an annual incidence of 20.20 per 100,000 live births. Mean fracture frequency in OI patients was 17 (2-32) times per patient and the most frequent fracture site was the lower leg. A total of 21.4% patients were prescribed anti-osteoporosis drugs, and the most popular drug was pamidronate. After 1:1 propensity score matching, in terms of scoliosis, OI patients had a 3.91 times higher prevalence of scoliosis than in healthy patients which was statistically significant. The sum of medical care expenses for patients with OI was 3.5 times higher than that for patients without OI. We identified nationwide trends in OI occurrence, fractures, and medication use. This study also highlighted the real-world data of scoliosis and medical costs compared to the control group.

Novel formulations of oral bisphosphonates in the treatment of osteoporosis. Aging Clin Exp Res 2022; 34:2625-2634. [PMID: 36331798 PMCID: PMC9675642 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-022-02272-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Oral bisphosphonates are a key intervention in the treatment of osteoporosis and in reducing the risk of fragility fractures. Their use is supported by over 3 decades of evidence; however, patient adherence to oral bisphosphonates remains poor in part due to complex dosing instructions and adverse events, including upper gastrointestinal symptoms. This problem has led to the development of novel oral bisphosphonate formulations. Buffered, effervescent alendronate is dissolved in water and so seeks to reduce upper gastro-intestinal adverse events, and gastro-resistant risedronate aims to reduce the complexity of dosing procedure (e.g. fasting prior to consumption) whilst still maintaining the efficacy of fracture risk reduction. Clinical trials and real-world data have been employed to demonstrate some benefits in terms of reduced upper gastro-intestinal adverse events, adherence, persistence and health economic outcomes. This report describes the result of an ESCEO (European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis) expert working group, which explores where oral bisphosphonates sit in current clinical practice guidelines, review their risk-benefit profile and the consequences of poor adherence before exploring novel oral bisphosphonate formulations and their potential clinical and health economic impact. Further research is required but there are signs that these novel, oral bisphosphonate formulations may lead to improved tolerance of oral bisphosphonates and thus, improved adherence and fracture outcomes.
