Romosozumab in severe postmenopausal osteoporosis—real-world data from 192 women

Osteoporos IntPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our real-world data corroborate the results from controlled studies and provide new insights into microstructural changes as well as biochemical treatment monitoring.

Study context

Participants
192 women
Exposure

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Lumbar spine areal bone mineral density (aBMD) change, 14.47 ± 8.74%
p < 0.001
Total hip aBMD change, 4.15 ± 5.92%
p < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Lumbar spine aBMD change by previous treatment

P < 0.001

Bone formation and trabecular microarchitecture

Increase in bone formation parameters after 6 months and in trabecular microarchitectural parameters (high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)) at 12 months; changes significantly lower with previous bone specific treatment
