PERSISTENCE TO THE TREATMENT WITH BIPHOSPHONATES IN PATIENTS WITH POSTMENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS ATTENDED IN THE HOSPITAL “ARNALDO MILIÁN CASTRO”

Abstract

Introduction: Research carried out has shown the efficacy but low persistence to bisphosphonate treatment in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Objective: To determine the persistence to treatment with alendronate and ibandronate in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis treated in the hospital "Arnaldo Milián Castro" between January and June 2022. Materials and Methods: Persistence to treatment was determined taking into account the dispensing records in the in-hospital pharmacy of the institution at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 36 months from the start of treatment. Results: A decrease in persistence was demonstrated for both drugs over time, being more significant for alendronate, whose administration schedule is weekly, in relation to ibandronate, which is administered once a month. Conclusions: The study corroborated what was reported in the literature about the low persistence to treatment with bisphosphonates, being more significant with a monthly administration regimen. 

Resumen

Introducción: Investigaciones realizadas han demostrado la efectividad pero baja persistencia al tratamiento con bifosfonatos en pacientes con osteoporosis postmenopáusica. Objetivo: Determinar la persistencia al tratamiento con alendronato e ibandronato en pacientes con osteoporosis postmenopáusica atendidas en el hospitsl “Arnaldo Milián Castro” entre enero y junio de 2022. Materiales y Métodos: La persistencia al tratamiento se determinó teniendo en cuenta los registros de dispensación en la farmacia intrahospitalaria de la institución a los 3, 6 9, 12, 24 y 36 meses de inicio del tratamiento. Resultados: Se observó una disminución en la persistencia para ambos fármacos en el transcurso del tiempo, siendo más significativa para el alendronato cuya pauta de administración es semanal en relación al ibandronato que se administra una vez al mes. Conclusiones: El estudio corroboró lo informado en la literatura acerca de la baja persistencia al tratamiento con bisfosfonatos, siendo más significativa con régimen de administración mensual.
