Hagino H, Yoshinaga Y, Hamaya E, Lin TC, Ajmera M, Meyers J. A real-world study of treatment patterns among patients with osteoporotic fracture: analysis of a Japanese hospital database. Arch Osteoporosis. 2023 Jan 23;18(1):23. doi: 10.1007/s11657-022-01201-x


Health records of patients hospitalized for osteoporotic fracture were analyzed. Prior to the index hospital admission, most patients were not receiving any antiosteoporotic treatment. During the index hospitalization visit, 25.5% of patients received antiosteoporotic treatment. The most common treatment regimens were active vitamin D3, bisphosphonates, and teriparatide.

Houghton DE, Alsawas M, Barrioneuvo P, Tello M, Farah W, Beuschel B, Prokop LJ, Layton JB, Murad MH, Moll S. Testosterone therapy and venous thromboembolism: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Thromb Res. 2018 Dec;172:94-103. doi: 10.1016/j.thromres.2018.10.023


BACKGROUND: Testosterone prescribing for men has dramatically increased, and there have been concerns about inappropriate use and adverse events. While regulatory bodies have warned about increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), published clinical data supporting an increased risk for VTE are limited.
