The importance of retaining physical functions to prevent skeletal‐related events in multiple myeloma patients with bone disease

This study was undertaken to identify baseline conditions and triggering factors for skeletal‐related events (SRE) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with denosumab. During the median follow‐up of 17 months, SRE occurred in 6 out of 52 newly diagnosed patients and in 5 out of 23 relapsed/refr...

Sumario:This study was undertaken to identify baseline conditions and triggering factors for skeletal‐related events (SRE) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with denosumab. During the median follow‐up of 17 months, SRE occurred in 6 out of 52 newly diagnosed patients and in 5 out of 23 relapsed/refractory patients. Bone fractures occurred by falling down due to orthostatic hypotension and/or muscle weakness in three out of four cases with amyloid light‐chain (AL) amyloidosis. A loss of balance and falling down appear to be triggering factors for SRE, especially in frail MM patients with AL amyloidosis, indicating the importance of retaining physical functions to prevent SRE.
