10 Patient Care Goals Identify patients at risk of fractures Reduce incidence of fractures Maintain quality of life – Activity – Independence – Health

11 National Osteoporosis Foundation 2014 Guidelines Universal (risk, diet, vitamin D, exercise, smoking, monitoring) Diagnosis (BMD, vertebral imaging, causes of secondary osteoporosis) Monitoring (BMD) Treatment (initiation criteria, options, duration) Major clinical recommendations http://www. http://nof.org/hcp/resources/913. Accessed August 2014.

12 2014 Universal Recommendations http://www.nof.org/hcp/practice/tools. Accessed August 2014. Counsel on the risk of fractures Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables (supplemented if necessary) to a total calcium intake of 1000 mg per day for men 50-70 1200 mg per day for women ≥ 51 1200 mg per day for men ≥ 71 Vitamin D intake should be 800-1000 IU per day (age ≥50), supplemented if necessary Regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise Fall prevention evaluation and training Cessation of tobacco use and avoidance of excessive alcohol intake

13 Who Should Have a Bone Density Test? AAFP and NOF AAFP: Sweet MG, et al. Am Fam Physician. 2009;79(3):193-200. NOF: National Osteoporosis Foundation. Clinician’s Guide to Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis. www.nof.org. Accessed August 2014. Women age 65 and older Men age 70 and older Postmenopausal women and men ages 50–69 with clinical risk factors Adults who have a fracture after age 50 Adults with a condition (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) or taking a medication (e.g., glucocorticoids) associated with low bone mass or bone loss

14 WHO Criteria for Postmenopausal Osteoporosis The T-score compares an individual’s BMD with the mean value for young adults and expresses the difference as a standard deviation score CategoryT-score Normal-1.0 and above Low bone mass (osteopenia) -1.0 to -2.5 Osteoporosis-2.5 and below http://www.who.int/chp/topics/Osteoporosis.pdf.

17 Benefits of FRAX Derives 10-year probability of clinical event from measurable parameters Internationally recognized and validated Based on data from multiple cohorts Easily accessible on the Internet or DXA software Helps identify patients who need treatment Can be used to reassure low-risk patients Not valid to monitor patients on treatment Only femoral neck BMD is considered Risk is “yes/no” – there is no consideration of “dose” (e.g., fractures, glucocorticoids, smoking, alcohol) Not all risk factors are included (eg, risk of falling) Clinical judgment is required Do patients with high FRAX scores benefit from medication? (Unknown) Limitations of FRAX Watts NB, et al. J Bone Miner Res 2009;24:975-979.

18 Whom to Treat: NOF Guidelines 2014 Women ≥ 65 and men ≥ 70 (younger with risk factors) T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 T-score ≤ -2.5 in the lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck or Hip or spine fracture (clinical or radiographic) DXA test ≥ 3% for hip fracture or ≥ 20% for major osteoporotic fractures FRAX 10-y fracture risk Candidate for TREATMENT YES nof.org/hcp/resources/913.

21 Choosing an Antiresorptive Agent Efficacy “broad spectrum” antifracture efficacy (alendronate, risedronate, zoledronate, denosumab) Route of administration oral (fasting or with food) or parenteral Frequency of administration daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, twice yearly, once yearly Side effects/tolerability depends on agent and patient Non-skeletal effectsbreast cancer reduction (raloxifene) Cost/insurance coverage generic oral; drugs “administered by health professional” covered by Medicare Part B

22 Factors That May Reduce Adherence EtiologyPossible Factors Patient-related Lack of understanding of condition or potential treatment benefits Patient motivation for treatment Comorbid conditions Cognitive dysfunction/forgetfulness No fracture history or symptoms Dissatisfactions with healthcare professional interaction Medication-related Cost Dosing regimen/frequency Side effects Safety misconceptions

23 Monitor treatment with DXA every 1–2 years – Do not "over-interpret" change – Be happy when BMD is stable OR increasing Why do some patients lose BMD on treatment? – Adherence – Drug pharmacokinetics – Underlying disorders that need to be addressed Patients on treatment whose BMD remains low are at high risk of fracture and may benefit from longer treatment Monitoring

24 Secondary Fracture Prevention A fracture is a sentinel event A fracture in a person over 50 is the most powerful risk factor for a future fracture Many high risk patients have their fractures successfully treated but do NOT receive assessment and treatment to prevent the next fracture Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) is an emerging model for secondary prevention

25 Fracture Liaison Services FLS coordinator orchestrates care following a minimal trauma fracture Several models in use internationally Positive impact – Increased BMD testing rates – Therapy initiation rates Insufficient data – Cost-effectiveness – Secondary fracture reduction Ganda K, et al.

29 Where Are We Now? Improved awareness Excellent diagnostic tools available FRAX is a quantitative risk assessment Safe and effective individualized treatment Better understanding of pathogenesis Federal initiatives to improve care The Good News Under-recognition of patients at risk for fracture Decreasing access to DXA Poor patient understanding of risk/benefit Increasing patient concerns about side effects Fewer patients on therapy Poor adherence 30% of patients don’t pick up new bisphosphonate prescriptions Risk of fracture increased 30–40% Ross S, et al.

31 What is it? Developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2007 as a voluntary reporting program that provides a financial incentive to physicians and other eligible professionals who report data on quality measures for covered services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries. What is the incentive/penalty schedule? If you participate in PQRS, you can receive an incentive payment of 0.5% of all your total allowed charges for Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) covered services. As of 2013, providers who do not successfully report PQRS measures will incur a 1.5% negative adjustment in their 2015 Medicare reimbursements; the negative adjustment will increase to 2% for each year thereafter. http://www.cms.gov/.

33 Summary What is osteoporosis? Decreased bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fracture Why should you care? Common, significant cost, morbidity and mortality Whom to test and how? DXA for all women by age 65, higher risk women earlier; FRAX is a useful tool Whom to treat and how? Individuals at high risk of fracture; approved agents are safe and effective; treatment decisions must be individualized
