  • Evidence-Based Evaluation and Selection of Essential Medicine for Township Health Centre in China: 16. Middle-aged and Elderly Women with Primary Osteoporosis

    Objective To evaluate and select essential medicine for middle-aged and elderly women with primary osteoporosis using evidence-based methods based on the burden of disease. Methods By means of the approaches, criteria, and workflow set up in the second article of this series, we referred to the recommendations of evidence-based or authority guidelines from inside and outside China, collected relevant evidence from domestic clinical studies, and recommended essential medicine based on evidence-based evaluation. Data were analyzed by Review Manager (RevMan) 5.1 and GRADE profiler 3.6 to evaluate quality of evidence. Results (1) 18 guidelines were included, 14 of which were evidence-based or based on expert consensus. Recommended medicines included bisphosphonates, calcitonin, estrogen, parathyroid hormone, selective estrogen receptor modulator, strontium and Chinese patent drug. (2) A result of one quasi-RCT (very low quality) indicated that caltrate D had a better effect on elderly women with primary osteoporosis than calcium gluconate in improving bone mineral density (BMD) (MD=0.04, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.06) and ameliorating bone ache ( RR=2.64, 95%CI 1.40 to 4.96). A few cases treated by caltrate D presented with adverse reaction such as gastrointestinal discomfort, poor appetite, constipation and nausea which disappeared later. Caltrate D (calcium carbonate D3) with good applicability cost 1.00 yuan daily. (3) A result of one RCT (low quality) indicated that alendronate had a better effect than caltrate D in improving L2-L4 BMD (MD=0.06, 95%CI 0.017 to 0.10) and ameliorating bone ache (RR=1.8, 95%CI 1.40 to 2.52). A result of two RCTs (moderate quality) indicated that alendronate plus calcium carbonate plus vitamin D6 had a better effect than calcium carbonate plus vitamin D in improving L2-L4 BMD (MD=0.05, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.08) and reducing blood alkaline phosphatase (MD=–31.9, 95%CI –54.99 to –8.81). There were slight adverse effects mainly including gastrointestinal reaction. Alendronate with fairly poor applicability cost 2.67 yuan daily. (4) A result of one RCT (moderate quality) indicated that after a 3-month treatment, Xian Ling Gu Bao Jiao Nang (name of a Chinese patent drug, abbreviated as XLGB) plus calcium preparation had a better effect than calcium preparation alone (MD=10, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.15). A result of one RCT (moderate quality) indicated that given for 3 to 6 months, XLGB plus calcium preparation was superior to calcium preparation alone in increasing the density of Ward’s triangle and the great femoral trochanter. A result of one RCT (low quality) indicated that XLGB plus calcitriol had a better effect than calcitriol alone in pain relief (RR=1.26, 95%CI 1.04 to 1.52). There were slight adverse effects mainly including reaction in the digestive system, the circulatory system and the skin. XLGB with good applicability cost 4.58 yuan daily. Conclusion We offer a weak recommendation for alendronate applied to middle-aged and elderly women with primary osteoporosis and pain and fracture caused by primary osteoporosis. We also offer a b recommendation for caltrate D and XLGB applied to middle-aged and elderly women with primary osteoporosis and pain and fracture caused by primary osteoporosis. In addition, we propose that the census on elder people with osteoporosis in rural areas should be carried out. More clinical and pharmacoeconomic studies of large-sample, high-quality on alendronate and its calcium preparation for adult osteoporosis are needed in China.

  • Evidence-Based Evaluation and Selection of Essential Medicine for Township Health Centre in China: 14. Bone Fracture

    Objective To evaluate and select essential medicine for bone fracture using evidence-based methods based on the burden of disease. Methods By means of the approaches, criteria, and workflow set up in the second article of this series, we referred to the recommendations of evidence-based or authority guidelines from inside and outside China, collected relevant evidence from domestic clinical studies, and recommended essential medicine based on evidence-based evaluation. Data were analyzed by Review Manager (RevMan) 5.1 and GRADE profiler 3.6 to evaluate quality of evidence. Results (1) 17 guidelines were included, six of which were evidence-based or based on expert consensus. We found that for fracture, global guidelines recommended surgical treatment and analgesics, while domestic guidelines recommended Chinese patent drugs. (2) A result of one RCT (low quality) indicated that Shang Ke Jie Gu Pian (name of a Chinese patent drug) shortened the clinical recovery time of fracture (MD=–4.2, 95%CI –5.25 to –3.14). A result of one RCT indicated that Shang Ke Jiu Ji Pian had a higher total clinical efficiency compared with San Qi Pian (name of a Chinese patent drug) (RR=1.28, 95%CI 1.11 to 1.47). A result of one RCT (low quality) indicated that Shang Ke Jiu Ji Pian (name of a Chinese patent drug) had a better effect than Shenyang Hong Yao Pian (name of a Chinese patent drug) in promoting the growth of osteotylus (RR=1.48, 95%CI 1.27 to 1.73) and also it had a higher clinical recovery rate (RR=1.62, 95%CI 1.37 to 1.9) compared to Shenyang Hong Yao Pian. A result of one RCT (moderate quality) indicated that Shang Ke Jiu Ji Pian was slightly better than Die Da Wan (name of Chinese patent drug) in regard to the recovery score of fracture (MD=0.25, 95%CI 0.026 to 0.47). A result of one RCT (low quality) indicated that compared to fracture reduction alone Shang Ke Jiu Ji Pian efficiently relieved pain (MD=–25.9, 95% –32.6 to –19.19) and shortened pain time (MD=–38.6, 95% –41.44 to –35.77). A result of one quasi-RCT (low quality) indicated that Shang Ke Jiu Ji Pian had a higher efficiency in relieving pain than benorylate (RR=1.13, 95%CI 1.04 to 1.23). A result of one RCT (low quality) indicated that Shang Ke Jiu Ji Pian had a higher efficiency than Shenyang Hong Yao Pian in relieving pain and swelling (RR=2.4, 95%CI 1.88 to 3.02). A result of one RCT (moderate quality) indicated that Shang Ke Jiu Ji Pian was superior to Die Da Wan in relieving pain and swelling (MD=–0.4, 95%CI –0.60 to –0.2). A result of two RCT (n=198) indicated that Shang Ke Jie Gu Pian caused no adverse reaction. With good applicability, Shang Ke Jie Gu Pian (taken with warm water or rice wine) cost 7.47 yuan daily. Conclusion (1) We offer a b recommendation for Shang Ke Jie Gu Pian and Jie Gu Qi Li Pian used in the treatment of adult fracture. (2) We should carry out more large-sample and controlled trials and improve outcome indicator in order to produce high-quality local evidence.
