1. NICE, FRAX & NOGGVTS meeting Jonathan Day
7th April 2010
5. Osteoporotic fractures - one of most common causes of disability- a major source of medical expenditure- a systemic disease – any fracture results in approx 2x increased risk of another fracture
6. FRACTURE is the only important outcome of OsteoporosisOsteoporosis not the only cause of low trauma fracturesFragility fracture – Osteoporosis/BMD Other skeletal factors Falls, force of impact
7. AgeFor same BMD on DXA scan, risk of hip fracture 5x greater for 80yr old than 50yr oldNB overlap with risk of falls
8. Family History of Hip FractureRisk increases by 4x for women with parental history at younger ageParental age of hip fracture 80yrs+, heritability nearly 0%
9. Non Vertebral fractures usually associated with FallsRisk of fracture increases with age independent of BMDFragility fractures can occur with normal BMD2 or more vertebral fractures increase risk of fracture x12 for given BMD
10. Epidemiology of FractureFracture often first sign = importance of secondary preventionPredictive of further # (not wrist in men) even ribs (EPOS)Especially in first year after incident # (shared factors with falls?)Risk is exponential with increasing #
12. Oct 2008 NICE technological appraisal guidanceTA 160: Alendronate, Etidronate, Risedronate & Strontium Ranelate for the primary prevention of osteoporotic fragility fractures in postmenpausal womenTA 161: Alendronate, Etidronate, Risedronate, Raloxifene, Strontium Ranelate and Teriparatide for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fragility fractures in postmenpausal women
13. Hip and Spine DXA The ‘gold standard’T score>-1.0SD = Normal-1.0 to –2.49SD = Osteopenia-2.5SD or below = Osteoporosis -2.5SD or below + fracture = Severe Osteoporosis Strict criteria = Hip BMD diagnosis has best predictive value (Hip BMD best predictor of hip # risk RR2.6)

17. TA 160:Does not apply to women with a fracture, who have normal BMD or Osteopenia, on long term systemic corticosteroidsAssumes woman adequate intake of Ca & Vit DDiagnosis assumed in women 75+ if clinician considers DXA scan clinically inappropriate or unfeasibleOtherwise, Osteoporosis DXA T-score -2.5 SD or lower
18. Independent Clinical Risk Factors for Fracture (ICRFs)- parental hip fracture- alcohol 4 or more units per day- Rheumatoid ArthritisIndicators of low Bone Mineral Density- low BMI < 22- medical conditions such as Ank Spondylitis, Crohns- prolonged immobility- untreated premature menopause (also fracture & steroids – not covered)
19. Alendronate70years or older with Osteoporosis with 1 or more ICRF or 1 indicator of low BMD(75+: if have 2 ICRFs or 2 indicators of low BMD, DXA may not be required)65-69 years with Osteoporosis with 1 ICRF 64 years or less with Osteoporosiswith 1 ICRF or 1 indicator of low BMD
20. Risedronate or Etidronatewhere woman cannot comply with, or intolerant of, or contraindication for Alendronate
21.
22. Strontium Ranelate- cannot comply, intolerant or contraindicted
23. Raloxifene - not recommendedExample: 73 year old woman, parental hip fracture, T-score -2.7SD
25. TA 161:Does not apply to women who have normal BMD or Osteopenia, on long term systemic corticosteroids Assumes woman adequate intake of Ca & Vit DDiagnosis assumed in women 75+ if clinician considers DXA scan clinically inappropriate or unfeasibleOtherwise, Osteoporosis DXA T-score -2.5 SD or lower
26. Independent Clinical Risk Factors for Fracture (ICRFs)- parental hip fracture- alcohol 4 or more units per day- Rheumatoid Arthritis
27. AlendronatePostmenopausal woman with Osteoporosis with fragility fracture(75+: DXA may not be required)
28. Risedronate or Etidronatewhere woman cannot comply with, or intolerant of, or contraindication for Alendronate
29. Strontium Ranelate or Raloxifene- cannot comply, intolerant or contraindicatedT-scores (SD) at (or below) which strontium ranelate or raloxifene is recommended when alendronate and either risedronate or etidronate cannot be taken
30. Teriparatide- cannot comply, intolerant or contraindicated- or unsatisfactory response to other drugs (fragility fracture & drop in BMD inspite of full adherence to Rx for 1 year)65 years or older T-score of –4.0 SD or below T-score of –3.5 SD or below plus more than two fractures55–64 years T-score of –4 SD or below plus more than two fractures.
31. Example: 73 year old woman, wrist fracture, parental hip fracture, T-score -2.7SD63 year old woman, wrist fracture, parental hip fracture, T-score -2.7SD

33. Risk of fractureRelativeAbsolute – e.g. 10 year risk of fractureBMD best single factorClinical factors – poor sensitivity & specificitySome factors consistentLow BMI, Parental History of hip #, Fragility #, Current smoking, 3+ units alcohol, RhA, Current or previous steroids
34. FRAX & NOGG(see website)
35. 3 categoriesLow risk of fractureHigh risk of fractureIntermediate risk of fracture(Johansson et al Osteo Int 2009)
36. InvestigationsDXAFBC, ESR, U&E, LFTs, Ca, Phosphate, PTH, TFTs, Myeloma screen (men +/- male hormone profile)
37. SummaryNICE TA 160 & 161- recommend Alendronate as first-line - women intolerant of Alendronate may be left with no other treatment or have to wait until BMD deteriorates further- not easy to use and has inconsistencies- FRAX & NOGG easier to use and more consistent
