1 Bone-Up on Osteoporosis Update /30/11 Kristine Olson, MS, APN, FNP-BC Nurse Practitioner Mercer Bucks Hematology Oncology 1 Objectives Review risk factors and screening for osteoporosis. Describe the impact of osteoporotic fractures on patients and society. Explain prevention and nonpharmacologic treatment of osteoporosis. Describe pharmacologic treatment of osteoporosis. 2 Osteoporosis a major public health threat Estimated 52.4 million Americans at risk (all #s are estimates) 12 million w/osteoporosis 40.4 million w/low bone mass Equals 55% of those age % w/dx are women (9.1 million) 20% w/dx are men (2.8 million) All ethnic groups have significant risk 3 1
2 Osteoporosis Prevalence Race and Ethnicity 20% non-hispanic Caucasian & Asian women > age 50 have osteoporosis 52% low bone mass 10% Hispanic women > age 50 49% low bone mass 5% non-hispanic black women > age % low bone mass 4 Osteoporosis Prevalence Race and Ethnicity Men 7% non-hispanic Caucasian & Asian men > age 50 35% low bone mass 3% Hispanic men > age 50 23% low bone mass 4% non-hispanic black men > age 50 19% low bone mass National Osteoporosis Foundation 5 Osteoporotic Fracture Incidence In 2005, osteoporosis responsible for >2 million fractures ~297,000 hip fractures ~547,000 vertebral fractures ~397,000 wrist fractures ~765,000 fractures at other sites Burge R, et al. Incidence and Economic Burden of Osteoporosis-Related Fractures in the United States JBMR. 2007; 22:
3 Significance of Osteoporosis in Women 7 Cost of Osteoporosis Osteoporotic fractures account for ~$17 billion in direct medical costs Projected to be over $25 million by 2025 >400,000 hospital admissions ~2.5 million physician visits >180,000 nursing home admissions 8 Osteoporosis NIH Definition A skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fracture. Bone strength = Bone quality including bone density, architecture and bone turnover NIH Consensus Conference,
4 What is Osteoporosis 10 Micrograph: Normal vs. Osteoporotic Bone 11 Vertebral Compression Fractures 12 4
5 2004 Surgeon General s Report Key Points Many Americans are at significant risk for bone loss and osteoporosis. Great improvements have been made in the bone health of Americans. More can be done by applying what is known about early prevention, assessment, diagnosis and treatment. US Dept of Health and Human Services, Bone Health and Osteoporosis: A Report of the Surgeon General, Office of the Surgeon General, Surgeon General s Report Studies showed a failure to diagnose and treat osteoporosis, even in elderly patients who have suffered a fracture. A gap between what is known and its application in the community remains large and needs to be closed. 14 Risk Factors Low bone density (osteopenia) Age Hx prior fracture Parental hx of hip fx Race Small frame Low estrogen or testosterone Lifestyle factors Low calcium intake, low activity, low BMI Vitamin D insufficiency Excess caffeine, > 3EtOH/day, tobacco, NaCl 15 5
6 Risk Factors Secondary Osteoporosis Genetic factors Parental hx, cystic fibrosis, Marfan Endocrine disorders Hypogonadal states GI disorders. 16 Risk Factors Secondary Osteoporosis Hematologic disorders Rheumatic & autoimmune diseases Miscellaneous conditions alcoholism, COPD, ESRD, CHF, etc. 17 Medications Associated with Decreased Bone Mass in Adults Anticoagulants (heparin) Anticonvulsants Aromatase inhibitors Barbiturates Cancer drugs Cyclosporin A Glucocorticoids oral & high-dose inhaled 18 6
7 Medications Associated with Decreased Bone Mass in Adults Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists Lithium Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate Probable: PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) TZDs (thiazolidinediones) 19 Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis Most common form of 2ndary osteoporosis Long-term use oral > 5 mg prednisone/day for 3 mo. High dose inhaled steroids > 800 mcg/24 h ACR recommends calcium mg/day, Vit D 800 IU/day, bisphosphonate if BMD T-score <-1.0 Caution w/premenopausal women 20 Risk Factors for Falls Environmental Medical Neuro & musculoskeletal 21 7
8 Bone Mineral Density Testing DXA (DEXA) of hip & spine preferred method Peripheral machines check BMD at forearm, heel or finger Use x-ray or U/S Hip BMD is single best predictor of hip fx risk 22 Defining osteoporosis by BMD 23 WHO Osteoporosis Guidelines 24 8
