2009 2009 NEJM NEJM Studies Studies • Enrollment—Power
– Low enrollment limited ability to reach statistical significance—selection bias
– 1,813 patients screened in Kallmes study and 131 underwent randomization
– if ~ 8 more pts. enrolled in Kallmes, statistically significant improvement would have been demonstrated (p <0.05)
• Kallmes—Crossover after 1 month– 43% crossed over to VP (statistically significant!)

2009 2009 NEJM NEJM Studies Studies
• Patient Selection—both studies had fractures 6 months–1 year old– 36.6% of patients in Kallmes Study
• Recent MRI/BS needed for proper patient selection
• Buchbinder et al.: Single site/Single provider• Interventionalist did not have ability to
evaluate patients for appropriateness

Mortality Risk for Operated and Non-Operated Vertebral Fracture Patients in the U.S. Medicare
Population
• National Medicare sample of 81,662 VCF pts. followed for 2 years
• KP and VP had survival rate of 74.8% at 24 months and non-operated pts. had a survival rate of 67.4% at 24 months (p<0.0001)
• Patients receiving either KP or VP were 44% less likely to die than non-operated pts. (p<0.001)
