Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal
Conditions
Brief summary
The objective of this prospective, observational study in Czech Republic and Slovakia is to describe per country the characteristics of women treated with denosumab in routine clinical practice and the clinical management of these patients during the first 2 years of treatment. In addition, the study aims to collect safety data in the real-life clinical practice settings on adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and serious ADRs.
Interventions
This is an non-interventional study, therefore denosumab is administered as part of routine care and not for purposes of the study.

| Number of Participants With Serious ADRs to Denosumab | 24 months | Serious adverse events that were considered related to denosumab were classified as serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs). A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE that also: • is fatal • is life threatening (places the patient at immediate risk of death) • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • is a congenital anomaly/birth defect • is an other significant medical hazard that does not meet any of the above criteria. |
