Abstract

Introduction/objectives

The objective of our systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) is to investigate which vitamin D and/or calcium regimen would yield the greatest increase in lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip bone mineral density (BMD) in adult patients undergoing glucocorticoid therapy.

Method

We performed NMAs based on a prospectively developed protocol. A database search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, CENTRAL and Chinese databases were conducted for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Outcomes were percentage change in lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip BMD from baseline.

Results

We included 16 RCTs containing 1073 eligible patients in our analysis. We found alfacalcidol+calcium to yield the greatest percentage increase in lumbar spine BMD (MD 6.05, 95% credible interval [CrI] − 4.18 to 16.18) compared to no treatment, and calcitriol+calcium to yield the greatest percentage increase in femoral neck BMD (MD 8.46, 95% CrI − 4.74 to 21.51) compared to no treatment. Cholecalciferol+calcium ranked first in terms of its ability to increase total hip BMD; however this finding needs to be interpreted with caution due to low sample sizes in the cholecalciferol+calcium treatment arm. None of the treatment arms ruled out the possibility of no effect for any outcome.

Conclusions

Alfacalcidol and calcitriol were the most efficacious treatment arms for increasing lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD, respectively. Our findings need to be validated by further investigations using larger, better-designed RCTs.
Key Points
•The efficacy of calcium/vitamin D compounds was examined using network meta-analyses.
•Alfacalcidol + calcium yielded the greatest increase in lumbar spine BMD, calcitriol + calcium yielded the greatest increase in femoral neck BMD.
•Future guidelines should place greater emphasis on the efficacy of different vitamin D compounds.
