Denosumab versus bifosfonatos para el tratamiento de la osteoporosis en mujeres post menopáusicas. [Denosumab versus bisphosphonates for the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women] Buenos Aires: Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS). Informe de Respuesta Rápida N° 308. 2013 Authors' objectives To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage policy related aspect for denosumab versus bisphosphonates in decreasing the risk of fractures due to post-menopausal osteoporosis. Authors' conclusions There is not enough comparative evidence to indicate the superiority of denosumab over bisphosphonates in the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis. Its indication would be limited to those cases at high risk of fracture (according to specific criteria) and intolerance, contraindication or failure to bisphosphonate treatment.
