Conditions

Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal

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

BIOLOGICALDenosumab

This is an non-interventional study, therefore denosumab is administered as part of routine care and not for purposes of the study.

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.
