  1. Estrogen plus Progestin, BMD and Fractures: Women’s Health Initiative Jane A. Cauley University of Pittsburgh JAMA 2003; 290 (13) :1729-1738

  2. Objectives • To present final analysis of fracture endpoints, thru July 7, 2002. • To test the hypothesis that the effect of E+P on fracture differed by risk factors for fracture. • To report BMD results. • To test whether the risk-benefit profile of E+P differs in women at higher vs. lower risk of hip fracture.

  3. Outcomes • All Fractures except ribs, chest/sternum, skull/face, fingers, toes and cervical vertebrae; • Radiographically confirmed; • Hip Fractures centrally adjudicated • BMD : baseline, years 1 and 3 • Global Index

  4. Statistical Analyses • Intent to Treat • Cox Proportional Hazard Models (95% CI) • Hip Fractures: Adjusted CI • 1 of 8 clinical outcomes monitored by DSMB • All otherFractures: Nominal CI

  16. Limitations • One estrogen plus progestin regimen • Fracture risk score: ratio of highest to lowest risk was modest 2.0 • No BMD measurements • No prevalent Vertebral fracture • May have better benefit/risk profile in women at higher risk. • Clinical Vertebral Fractures • Global Index: Potentially life threatening illness • Vertebral fractures

  17. Summary • Estrogen plus Progestin increases BMD and reduces the risk of fracture in healthy pre-dominantly non-osteoporotic women. • Decreased risk of fracture was present in all subgroups of women examined • The Effect of E+P on fracture is consistent with recent Meta-analyses. • The effect of E+P on the Global Index did not differ across tertiles of fracture risk. There was no evidence of a net benefit in women at high risk of fracture.

  18. Conclusion • Given: • Overall unfavorable risk- benefit ratio • Availability of other agents for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis • Estrogen plus progestin cannot be recommended for the prevention or the treatment of osteoporosis in asymptomatic women. • Before the combination of estrogen and progestin is considered for the purpose of fracture prevention, women should be fully informed about the potential adverse effects.
