PG - 288-98 LID - S0168-8227(16)30093-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.diabres.2016.04.029 [doi] AB - AIM: Fracture risk is higher in older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Oral glucose-lowering medications have different effects on bone metabolism. The purpose of this study is to appraise the evidence from literature and determine the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor on the risk of developing bone fractures. METHODS: Using Boolean search terms, the search strategy combined synonyms of 'fracture' and 'DPP-4 inhibitor'. Comprehensive electronic databases which include EMBASE, MEDLINE, the EMA and the WHO ICTRP databases were searched for randomised controlled trial (RCT) studies which compared a DPP-4 inhibitor with an active comparator or placebo amongst patients with T2DM. Meta-analysis was performed to compare DPP-4 inhibitor with either an active comparator or a placebo. The outcome measure was the presence or absence of fracture. RESULTS: The search yielded 5061 records relating to fractures and DPP-4 inhibitor, from which 51 eligible RCTs were selected for meta-analysis (N=36,402). Thirty-seven (37) studies compared DPP-4 inhibitor with placebo (n=23,974), while fourteen (14) studies (n=12,428) compared DPP-4 inhibitor with an active comparator. The mean age of patients was 57.5+/-5.4years, the average glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was 8.2%, while the average BMI was 30+/-2kg/m(2). Overall, there was no significant association of fracture events with the use of DPP-4 inhibitor when compared with placebo (OR; 0.82, 95% CI 0.57-1.16, P=0.9) or when DPP-4 inhibitor was compared against an active comparator (OR; 1.59, 95% CI 0.91-2.80, P=0.9). CONCLUSION: This study offers a larger, up-to-date review of the subject. The meta-analysis showed that there was no significant association between DPP-4 inhibitor use and the incidence of fractures. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
