Exposure to oral corticosteroids (OCS) is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Guidelines suggest bisphosphonate (BP) therapy as the first-line treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). This population study used publicly available data, including prescription annual cost analysis and monthly practice-level data. Our aim was to examine the prescribing of OCS and BP at practice level and investigate reasons for variation using a mixed-effect negative binomial regression analysis. There was a rise in OCS and BP prescriptions of 55% and 1200% from 1998 to 2018, respectively. Of the 6586 included practices, the median (IQR) of OCS and BP prescriptions were 120.8 (84.8-160.4) and 107.7 (73.8-147.4) per 1000 patients, respectively. Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were significantly associated with OCS use (p < 0.0001), but only COPD was associated with BP use (p < 0.0001). Higher OCS prescribing rates were associated with higher BP prescribing rates (5th to 1st quintile-IRR = 1.99; 95% CI: 1.88-2.10). Practice list size, deprivation and advanced age were all associated with both drugs (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, although OCS use is positively associated with BP prescription, variation among practices and CCGs exists. The variation in prescribing suggests there is still a need to improve GIOP prevention.

英国口服皮质类固醇和双膦酸盐处方模式的回顾性数据库研究。



接触口服皮质类固醇(OCS)会增加骨质疏松症和脆性骨折的风险。指南建议双磷酸盐(BP)治疗作为糖皮质激素引起的骨质疏松症(GIOP)的一线治疗。这项人口研究使用了公开数据,包括年度处方成本分析和每月实践水平数据。我们的目的是在实践层面检查 OCS 和 BP 的处方,并使用混合效应负二项式回归分析调查变化的原因。从 1998 年到 2018 年,OCS 和 BP 处方分别增加了 55% 和 1200%。在纳入的 6586 家诊所中,OCS 和 BP 处方的中位数 (IQR) 分别为每 1000 名患者 120.8 (84.8-160.4) 和 107.7 (73.8-147.4)。哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺病 (COPD) 与 OCS 的使用显着相关 (p < 0.0001),但只有 COPD 与 BP 的使用相关 (p < 0.0001)。较高的 OCS 处方率与较高的 BP 处方率相关(第五至第一五分位 -IRR = 1.99;95% CI:1.88-2.10)。执业名单规模、剥夺和高龄都与这两种药物相关 (p < 0.0001)。总之,尽管 OCS 的使用与血压处方呈正相关,但实践和 CCG 之间存在差异。处方的变化表明仍然需要改进 GIOP 的预防。
