    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the 2-year safety and effectiveness of denosumab 60 mg in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in clinical practice in Japan.
    Methods: This 2-year, prospective, observational cohort study included patients who initiated treatment with denosumab 60 mg for the progression of bone erosion associated with RA. Key endpoints were adverse drug reactions (ADRs), progression of bone erosion, and 28-joint Disease Activity Score based on C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR). Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the risk factors for ADRs and the progression of bone erosion.
    Results: In the safety analysis set (N=1,239), the incidence of ADRs was 3.0%; the most common ADRs were hypocalcaemia (1.2%) and osteonecrosis of jaw-related events (0.6%). A history of any drug allergy was a statistically significant risk factor associated with the occurrence of ADRs. In the effectiveness analysis set (N=815), the incidence of progression of bone erosion was 8.7%. Steinbrocker stage and initial steroid dose were statistically significant risk factors associated with the progression of bone erosion.
    Conclusion: Denosumab demonstrated safety and effectiveness over a 2-year period in RA patients without any new safety concerns.

    Abstract Atypical ulnar fracture (AUF) is a rare condition that may occur in patients treated with bisphosphonates. We describe the clinical course of a patient who had an AUF during treatment with denosumab. An 86-year-old woman treated with denosumab for 5 years experienced a complete transverse fracture of the proximal left ulna after falling from a standing height. Intraoperative photographs showed cortical thickening around the fracture site. Therefore, we diagnosed the patient with AUF and performed internal fixation with a locking plate. However, a re-fracture occurred 2.5 months after surgery, which was treated with locking plate replacement with a longer one with a bone graft. One year after the second surgery, the fracture healed. To our knowledge, this is the second case report of an AUF occurring during denosumab treatment. Our case highlights the importance of careful follow-up of patients receiving not only bisphosphonate, but also denosumab.

    Abstract Aim: Patients with hip fractures have a high rate of mortality or decreased mobility, despite early operative treatment and rehabilitation. The first aim of this study was to investigate the factors of decreased walking ability after hip fracture based on whether walking ability was or was not maintained postoperatively. The second aim was to examine the usefulness of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment 7 (CGA7), modified from the conventional Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, for predicting postoperative walking ability.
    Methods: This study included patients who were treated surgically for hip fractures. We divided patients by whether they did or did not maintain their walking ability postoperatively. We registered the following demographic data: walking ability preadmission and at discharge, CGA7 score, cognitive impairment, the patient's prefracture status, fracture type, surgical waiting time, hospital stay duration, limitation of weight-bearing, postoperative complications, transfer to rehabilitation hospital, final living place, and follow-up period. The characteristics of the two groups were compared using Wilcoxon's rank-sum test, the chi-squared test, or Fisher's exact test.
    Results: Among 855 patients, 616 (73.0%) patients maintained walking ability and 239 (27.0%) patients did not. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the factors of age, sex, preoperative walking ability, and postoperative complications were significantly associated with maintaining postoperative walking ability. Furthermore, the higher the CGA7 score, the more likely were patients to maintain their walking ability (odds ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-0.85; P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: Patients who had a low CGA7 score had the potential risk of decreased walking ability. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; 23: 830-835.

    Abstract Introduction: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is widely used for the treatment of prostate cancer. ADT is associated with reduced bone density leading to an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to quantify fracture risk in men treated with ADT for prostate cancer in real-world practice in Japan.
    Materials and methods: Data were extracted from the Japanese Medical Data Vision (MDV) database. Men initiating ADT for treatment of prostate cancer between April 2010 and March 2021 were identified and matched to a cohort of prostate cancer patients not taking ADT using a propensity score. Fracture rates were estimated by a cumulative incidence function and compared between cohorts using a Cox cause-specific hazard model. Information was extracted on demographics, comorbidities and bone densitometry.
    Results: 30,561 men with PC starting ADT were matched to 30,561 men with prostate cancer not treated with ADT. Following ADT initiation, <5% of men underwent bone densitometry. Prescription of ADT was associated with an increased fracture risk compared to not taking ADT (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.63 [95% CI 1.52-1.75]).
    Conclusion: ADT is associated with a 1.6-fold increase in the risk of osteoporotic fracture in men with prostate cancer. Densitometry in this population is infrequent and monitoring urgently needs to be improved in order to implement effective fracture prevention.

    Abstract Background: Hormone therapy with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) for estrogen receptor-dependent breast cancer may expose patients to an increased osteoporosis risk. This study was performed to estimate fracture risk in women with breast cancer to whom AIs were prescribed in Japan.
    Methods: This retrospective study used data from the Japanese Medical Data Vision database. Women with breast cancer prescribed AIs over a 12-month period were identified and matched to women not prescribed AIs using a propensity score. Fracture rates were estimated by a cumulative incidence function and compared using a cause-specific Cox hazard model. The proportion of women undergoing bone density tests was retrieved.
    Results: For all fractures sites combined, cumulative fracture incidence at 10 years was 0.19 [95%CI: 0.16-0.22] in women prescribed AIs and 0.18 [95%CI: 0.15-0.21] without AIs. AI prescription was not associated with any changes in risk (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.08 [95%CI: 0.99-1.17]
    Conclusions: The anticipated association between AI exposure and osteoporotic fracture risk in Japanese women with breast cancer was not seen clearly.

    Abstract Background: The sarcopenia index (SI), calculated as the ratio of serum creatinine to cystatin C levels, reflects skeletal muscle mass and strength. Patients with hip fracture (HF) and sarcopenia have poor functional outcomes, and many require long-term care after surgery. We hypothesized that the SI can predict preoperative and early postoperative functional outcomes.
    Methods: Preoperative serum creatinine and cystatin C were measured to calculate the SI for patients with surgically treated HF (n = 130, mean age: 87.8 ± 6.9 years). Walking ability before and 2 weeks after surgery was assessed, and patients were dichotomized into independent and assistance groups. To assess the validity of the SI, we examined its correlation with the quality [computed tomography (CT) value] and quantity (cross-sectional area) of the muscles around the hip on the non-operated side, which were preoperatively measured using CT. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic value of the SI.
    Results: The SI of the preoperative independent (n = 77) and assistance groups (n = 53) significantly differed (70.2 ± 12.4 and 60.1 ± 9.8, respectively, P < 0.000001). At 2 weeks after surgery, the SI was significantly higher in the independent group (n = 31, 73.0 ± 14.9) than in the assistance group (n = 99, 64.0 ± 10.7, P = 0.0003). In the preoperative independent group, 28 could walk independently after surgery (SI: 74.8 ± 14.0) while 49 required assistance (SI: 67.7 ± 10.6, P = 0.01). For patients with femoral neck fracture (FNF), the SIs were significantly higher in the postoperative independent group (78.6 ± 15.7) than in the postoperative assistance group (63.2 ± 10.9, P = 0.002). Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of the SI for postoperative walking ability was 0.95 (0.91-0.99, P = 0.03). The correlations of SIs with CT values and cross-sectional areas were as follows: iliopsoas at the apex of the femoral head, r = 0.40, P < 0.001 and r = 0.49, P < 0.001, respectively; rectus femoris at the level of the lessor trochanter, r = 0.26, P = 0.007 and r = 0.37, P < 0.001, respectively. ROC analysis for predicting postoperative walking ability in preoperative independent patients with HF and FNF revealed areas under the curve (95% confidence interval) of 0.63 (0.50-0.76) and 0.80 (0.65-0.96), respectively.
    Conclusions: In patients with HF, the SI correlated with preoperative walking ability and could predict postoperative walking ability. Among patients who could walk independently before surgery, those with high SIs could walk independently early in the postoperative period. The SI is beneficial for estimating walking ability in patients with HF.

    Abstract Introduction: The incidence of the fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFPs) has been increasing in recent years. Operative treatment is effective in patients who are unable to ambulate due to pain. Anterior subcutaneous internal fixation (ASIF) is a minimally invasive and stable fixation used to treat the FFPs, with few reported vascular complications. However, we experienced a case in which the rod directly pressed the common femoral artery (CFA).
    Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the rod position as defined by ASIF and the CFA in the FFPs patients, and between BMI and the rod-to-CFA distance.
    Materials and methods: Pelvic measurements were performed in 47 patients with FFPs using trauma CT. We identified the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) on both sides in axial CT images. Next, we performed a simulation study using the CT images, in which the virtual fixation rod was bent according to the shape of the patients' abdomen in the supine position. The shortest rod-to-CFA distance when the virtual rod was positioned directly above the AIIS in the CT image was measured. The correlation between body mass index (BMI) and the rod-to-CFA distance was measured.
    Results: The average shortest rod-to-CFA distance was 18.4 ± 11.1 mm, and the simulated rod compressed the CFA in three of the 47 cases (6.4%). A statistically significant positive correlation between BMI and the rod-to-CFA distance was found (r = 0.47, p = 0.001).
    Conclusions: The course of the CFA should be confirmed before ASIF surgery, and if there is danger of compression of the CFA such as in patients with low BMI, the rod-to-AIIS distance should be adjusted to the optimal distance. However, considering the disadvantages, such as decreased stability of the fixation, when adjusting the rod-to-AIIS distance, and skin irritation and abrasion by the rod, ASIF is not recommended in cases in which the rod is close to the CFA.

    Abstract Introduction: Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is associated with elevated fracture risk. Practice guidelines have been published to reduce this risk but are insufficiently followed in everyday practice. The objectives of this study were to estimate fracture incidence in patients exposed to oral glucocorticoids and to analyse the impact of glucocorticoid use on fracture incidence.
    Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed using the Medical Data Vision (MDV) claims database from Japan. All patients aged ≥ 18 years initiating oral glucocorticoids and fulfilling Japanese guideline criteria for starting prophylactic osteoporosis treatment between 2009 and 2019 were identified. These were matched to a cohort of unexposed controls using propensity score matching. Fracture incidence in the two cohorts were compared using a Fine-Gray proportional sub-distribution hazard model.
    Results: 13,090 glucocorticoid-exposed cases were compared to 13,090 unexposed controls. The 1-year fracture rate (all sites) was 9.3 [95% CI 8.8-9.8] in cases and 5.8 [5.4-6.2] in controls. One-year vertebral fracture rates were 4.3 [4.0-4.7] and 2.3 [2.1-2.6] respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the use of glucocorticoids was associated with an increase in the incidence of osteoporotic fractures (hazard ratio: 1.63 [1.51-1.76]). The glucocorticoid-associated risk tended to be higher in subgroups of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, COPD and in those aged < 65 years.
    Conclusion: Oral glucocorticoid use is associated with an increase in fracture incidence. It is necessary to raise awareness of GIOP and to take public health measures to change the perceptions and behaviour of doctors prescribing glucocorticoids.

    Abstract Introduction: This pre-specified exploratory analysis investigated the effect of denosumab on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microarchitecture in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs).
    Materials and methods: In this open-label, parallel-group study, patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to continuous treatment with csDMARDs plus denosumab or continuous treatment with csDMARD therapy alone for 12 months. BMD and bone microarchitecture were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT).
    Results: Of 46 patients enrolled in the primary study, 43 were included in the full analysis set. The mean age was 65.3 years, 88.4% were female, and 60.5% had osteoporosis. Areal BMD of the lumbar spine increased from baseline to 6 and 12 months in both groups, but the increase was higher in the csDMARDs plus denosumab group. Areal BMD of the total hip and femoral neck increased from baseline to 6 and 12 months only in the csDMARDs plus denosumab group. Cortical volumetric BMD and cortical thickness of the distal tibia increased in the csDMARDs plus denosumab group at 6 and 12 months but decreased in the csDMARD therapy alone group. Trabecular bone parameters of the distal tibia improved only in the csDMARDs plus denosumab group at 12 months.
    Conclusion: Denosumab may be recommended for patients with RA treated with csDMARDs to increase BMD and improve bone microarchitecture.

    Abstract Aim: In 2022, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association developed "Locomo Age," which can be used to measure mobility. The potential effects of measuring Locomo Age on motivation to exercise are yet to be explored. This study aimed to determine whether the measurement of Locomo Age improved motivation for exercise.
    Methods: In total, 90 fitness club users (17 men and 73 women) were enrolled in the study. The participants performed the locomotive syndrome risk test. These results were entered on a smartphone website, and their Locomo Age was automatically calculated. Questionnaires about impressions of Locomo Age and changes in motivation for exercise after measuring Locomo Age were surveyed.
    Results: The mean Locomo Age of the participants was 84.4 ± 8.5 years, which was significantly higher than their actual age (75.9 ± 7.2 years, P < 0.001). Questionnaires showed that 55 participants (61.1%) felt that their Locomo Age was higher than expected; 42 participants (46.7%) had increased motivation for exercise, and only two participants (2.2%) had decreased motivation. The rate of improvement in motivation for exercise was higher in the group of participants who reported having an older Locomo Age than they expected compared with that of the group with a Locomo Age that was the same as they expected (P < 0.05).
    Conclusions: The measurement of Locomo Age improved the motivation for exercise. This result remained true even when the Locomo Age was higher than expected, as it did not decrease the participants' motivation. Locomo Age allows for the comprehension of participants' mobility without medical knowledge. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; 23: 589-594.
