Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of terlipatide and bisphosphate in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis fractures through a Meta-analysis.
METHODS: By searching PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang and VIP databases, 18 randomized controlled studies on terlipatide and bisphosphate in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis fractures were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Endnote X9 software was used to manage the literature and Revman 5.3 software was used to perform a Meta-analysis on the extracted data. The incidences of vertebral fracture, non-vertebral fracture and adverse reaction in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients treated with terlipatide and bisphosphate were analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 18 randomized controlled studies were included, of which 10 were of medium and high quality and 8 were of low quality. Meta-analysis results showed that the fracture incidence in the teriparatide group [risk ratio (RR)=0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.48-0.66, P < 0.000 01] was lower than that in the bisphosphonate group, and teriparatide was superior to alendronate in preventing fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (RR=0.50, 95%CI: 0.35-0.69, P < 0.000 1) and other bisphosphonates (RR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.49-0.70, P < 0.000 01). During the follow-up over 18 months, teriparatide was superior to bisphosphonates in preventing fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (RR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.48-0.69, P < 0.000 01). In addition, we found that teriparatide was superior to bisphosphonates in preventing vertebral fractures (RR=0.48, 95%CI: 0.37-0.62, P < 0.000 01) and non-vertebral fractures (RR=0.63, 95%CI: 0.51-0.78, P < 0.000 1) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Teriparatide was superior to bisphosphonates in increasing lumbar bone density [odds ratio=4.16, 95%CI: 2.96-5.36, P < 0.000 1) and femoral neck bone density (odds ratio=1.02, 95%CI: 0.04-2.01, P=0.04). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between teriparatide and bisphosphonates (RR=0.95, 95%CI: 0.85,1.06, P=0.37).
CONCLUSION: Teriparatide is superior to bisphosphonates in preventing vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, but the safety and adverse drug reactions of teriparatide and bisphosphonates are basically similar. Teriparatide is superior to bisphosphonate in preventing fracture and improving lumbar and femoral neck bone density regardless of short-term (< 18 months) or long-term (≥ 18 months) use.
