摘要

Background: In the United States, between one-third and two thirds of postmenopausal women do not begin treatment with a prescription osteoporosis medication after a diagnosis of osteoporosis. The objective of this study was to understand the reasons for this lack of treatment. Materials and Methods: Online physician and patient surveys were administered in 2013. The physician survey included a chart review of untreated postmenopausal women recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and gathered data on physicians' practices regarding the management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The patient survey was given to untreated postmenopausal women with a recent osteoporosis diagnosis. Results: The physician survey was completed by 224 physicians, who also reviewed 811 patient charts. A total of 165 patients completed the patient survey. In the chart review, physicians reported that 19% of the postmenopausal women they diagnosed with osteoporosis were not prescribed an osteoporosis medication. The patient declined a physician's recommendation for pharmacological treatment in 81% and 52% of cases in the physician and patient surveys, respectively. The most frequent reasons for physicians not recommending treatment were: low calcium and/or vitamin D levels, patients potentially at risk of medication side effects, pre-existing gastrointestinal problems, and polypharmacy. The most frequent reasons for patients deciding against treatment were: concerns about side effects, considering nonprescription options and behavioral modifications, and questioning the potential benefit of taking the medication. Conclusions: Patients decided against pharmacological treatment of newly diagnosed osteoporosis in at least half of the cases of nontreatment. The principal reasons for not being treated with a prescription medication, given by both physicians and patients, were that there were alternatives and concern about the risks of prescription medications.
