Peyronie's disease (PD) is a disorder of the penis that is associated with poor mental health, lowered psychosocial- and sexual wellbeing, which may increase the risk of childlessness in men affected by the disorder. Although this is an issue of significant clinical importance, it has not been addressed in research to date. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study based on data from Swedish national registers utilizing a large sample of help-seeking men with PD, along with matched subjects from the general population.

Objective: Rebound vertebral fractures (VFs) after Denosumab (Dmab) withdrawal have been documented, highlighting the need for further research into this phenomenon and the importance of a well-planned strategy for discontinuing Dmab.
Methods: From the TriNetX US network, we enrolled osteoporosis patients aged 50 years or older who had withdrawn from at least two doses of Dmab and compared them with a matched cohort who had received at least one dose of zoledronate (ZOL) before discontinuation. We analyzed hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and conducted Kaplan-Meier analyses, along with subgroup analyses, drug discontinuation modification, and sensitivity analyses.
