Osteoporosis, defined by reduced bone mineral density and macro- and micro-architectural degradation, leads to increased fracture risk, particularly in aging populations. While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrate that PTH1 receptor agonists, teriparatide and abaloparatide, are effective at reducing fracture risk, real-world evidence (RWE) remains sparse. This study reviews and compares the anti-fracture efficacy of these agents, against each other and against other osteoporosis treatments using both RCTs and RWE.

Background: Denosumab is a potent anti-resorptive agent widely used for osteoporosis. However, its discontinuation results in a 'rebound phenomenon' of rapid bone loss, necessitating transition to alternative anti-resorptive therapies. Despite this, there is limited evidence to guide the selection of the most effective agent, particularly among bisphosphonates.

Unlabelled: In a single, large integrated US healthcare system, bisphosphonate treatment initiation for fracture prevention among older adults shifted towards higher-risk populations over a 25-year time period (1998-2022). The temporal trends among women and men who initiated treatment reflected changing practice patterns and both primary and secondary fracture prevention efforts.
Introduction: While bisphosphonate (BP) drugs remain first-line for fracture prevention, treatment has changed over time.

Context: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) cause bone loss and increase fracture risk in women with hormone receptor-positive early-stage breast cancer (HR+EBC). Bone antiresorptive agents are recommended for patients at risk of fragility fractures. Eldecalcitol, combined with bisphosphonate, increases bone mineral density (BMD) in primary osteoporosis.

Purpose: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are first line agents commonly used in the management of osteoporosis. There have been two case reports that have suggested a possible link between BPs and acute angle closure (AAC). In the absence of any large epidemiologic studies, we sought to determine the risk of AAC and OAG with bisphosphonate use in patients with osteoporosis.
