Popis: In this retrospective study, the effectiveness of short-term teriparatide with denosumab in reducing fragility fracture risk was determined in comparison with denosumab monotherapy. Administration of sequential teriparatide with denosumab showed excellent outcomes in suppressing the risk for fragility fractures compared with denosumab monotherapy.To determine the effectiveness of short-term teriparatide with denosumab in reducing the risk of fragility fractures in comparison to denosumab monotherapy.The data of postmenopausal patients treated with denosumab for 2 years between August 2015 and October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. One hundred sixty four postmenopausal women of a total 615 were excluded, since they did not undergo 2 bone mineral density (BMD) tests, were lost to follow-up, or received long-term teriparatide therapy. Total 320 patients received denosumab monotherapy and 131 patients received teriparatide for ≥ 3 months followed by denosumab. The number of osteoporotic fractures, presence of back pain before and after treatment, and annual BMD during treatment were comparatively assessed using t-test, Chi-square test, and linear mixed model analysis.Before treatment, the denosumab monotherapy group had fewer osteoporotic fractures (mean ± standard deviation; 0.459 ± 0.689) than the sequential therapy group had (1.037 ± 0.871; p 0.001). After treatment, the sequential therapy group had fewer osteoporotic fractures than the denosumab monotherapy group had (0.119 ± 0.348 versus 0.144 ± 0.385; p 0.001). At 1 and 2 years after treatment, the increase in lumbar spine BMD was greater in the sequential therapy group than in the denosumab monotherapy group (p = 0.08, group × time). The difference between post and pre-treatment back pain visual analog scale score was significantly lower in the sequential therapy group than in the monotherapy group (3.246 ± 3.426 versus 1.734 ± 3.049; p 0.001).Short-term teriparatide use before denosumab showed excellent outcomes in suppressing the risk of fragility fractures compared with denosumab monotherapy.
