A Systematic Review of Osteoporosis Medication Adherence and Osteoporosis-Related Fracture Costs in Men

Abstract: One-third to two-thirds of men are not adherent to bisphosphonates. Non-adherence is associated with increased fracture risk. Estimates of direct and indirect osteoporosis-related fracture costs are also substantial in men, and may even be more costly than in women. More robust data would better inform disease management initiatives that could improve adherence to medication and outcomes in men with osteoporosis.

“…The increase in fracture rate is associated with great increases in mortality and healthcare costs, since treatment of fractures requires hospitalization and surgical interventions 16 . In our study, the largest percentage of respondents had vertebral fractures, which are difficult to treat and bear high treatment costs.…”

“…Each man who screened positive with a particular strategy or who sustained a clinical fracture was assumed to be offered bisphosphonate therapy. In base-case analysis, we assumed that 50% of individuals were initially adherent and persisted with treatment; we assumed the remainder of individuals were noncompliant (24,25) and did not receive treatment benefit or incur treatment costs. For men with osteoporosis receiving bisphosphonate treatment, we assumed fracture risk reduction efficacy as reported in a meta-analysis of alendronate efficacy in men.…”
