Abstract

New recommendations from the Swiss Association against Osteoporosis (SVGO) concerning fracture risk stratification and treatment delineate two new risk categories : very high risk (FRAX 10-years probability of fracture at least 20 % above the usual intervention threshold) and imminent risk (major osteoporotic fracture in the last 2 years). In these patients, parenteral therapies are recommended first. Among them, romosozumab is now available in Switzerland and is indicated for 1 year in absence of cardiovascular contra-indications, followed by an anti-resorptive. Regarding denosumab, several studies indicate that post-treatment bone loss may be, at least partially, prevented by zoledronate. Finally, monitoring BMD changes and the T-score reached on any therapy could be used as an indicator of anti-fracture efficacy.
