Abstract: Background : Osteoporosis increases in the risk of fragility fracture which decreases in the quality of life with the limitation of daily living of patients. Once-daily administration of teriparatide (parathyroid hormone) stimulates new bone formation on trabecular and cortical bone surfaces. The anabolic effects of teriparatide are manifest as an increase in skeletal mass, an increase in markers of bone formation and resorption, and an increase in bone strength. Recently there is no study of functional outcome after teriparatide administration for 24 months. We conduct the study about the functional outcome, the adherence and the cardiovascular adverse event after teriparatide administration for 24 months. Objective : To study the functional outcome, adherence and cardiovascular adverse event in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients whom undergoing teriparatide treatment. Material and methods : In this prospective cohort study, we enrolled postmenopausal women with at least hip fracture or two vertebral fracture and bone mineral density T score of less than or equal to -2.50. SF36 scores, serum NT-proBNP level were measured before treatment, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months after treatment. Serum NT-proBNP is a useful cardiovascular biomarker for the diagnosis of heart failure. Increased levels of NT-proBNP in patient treated with teriparatide are associated with cardiovascular adverse event. Adherence is measured by medical procession ratio. Results : Functional outcome is improved significantly at 12 months (P=0.008). Patients had high adherence for 87 % and the mean of MPR is 0.94. There is no effect of teriparatide on serum NT-proBNP level (P=0.144). Conclusion : Functional outcome is improved from 12 months after the initiation of teriparatide treatment with high adherence. Teriparatide did not change the concentration of NT-proBNP in plasma after completion of treatment, suggesting that teriparatide does not affect heart function
