    International audienceBackground: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is an expected, but rare adverse effect of denosumab. There are few data denosumab 120 mg related MRONJ occurrence when regular dental monitoring is planned. International and French recommendations do not detail the schedule of the follow-up visits, allowing local interpretations. Methods: The aim of this retrospective study was to describe our local experience of regular dental monitoring in patients receiving denosumab 120 mg. We included all ≥18-year-old patients exposed to denosumab 120 mg, bisphosphonate- and denosumab-naive, and with regular dental monitoring (pre-treatment and every 4 months after denosumab initiation) at the University Hospital Center, France, from 2015 to 2019. The crude incidence of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw was estimated per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval). Results: During the study period, 251 patients were included, of whom 77 did not attend the 1st follow-up visit at 4 months. Almost all patients had osteonecrosis of the jaw risk factors. Ten MRONJ cases were reported (four stage 0 and six stage 1). The crude incidence rate was 5.1 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 1.9–8.2). Denosumab was stopped in all patients who developed MRONJ, with favorable outcome for 3 cases and stabilization in 4 cases after osteonecrosis of the jaw management. Conclusion: This study suggested that a regular dental follow-up every 4 months may be a suitable option for prevention and early detection/treatment of MRONJ. A randomized study should be performed to determine the best dental monitoring schedule

    This study assessed in depth the use of first‐ and second‐generation antipsychotic (FGAP/SGAP) drugs in France. A 1/97th random sample of beneficiaries affiliated to the French Health Insurance system—Echantillon Généraliste des Bénéficiaires (EGB)—was used: (i) 621 662 persons in 2015 among which 11 319 had an antipsychotic (AP) prescription; (ii) a sample of first AP prescriptions concerning 5 935 patients in 2013 and 2014 (no AP in the last 6 months of 2012) for whom diagnosis was available in 40% of cases. In 2015, AP prevalence was 21.9/1 000. SGAP/FGAP ratio was 1.02. Long‐lasting prescriptions were rare: 1.79/1 000 for FGAP and 1.38/1 000 for SGAP. FGAP first prescriptions were higher than SGAP for each age class, except for <18 aged patients; 2.85% had both generations; 50.7% of the patients had another psychotropic. GPs prescribed more FGAPs than SGAPs, psychiatrists prescribed more SGAPs and hospital‐based practitioners prescribed both generations equally, and these patterns changed across age ranges: For the elderly, GPs are the more frequent prescribers. SGAP/FGAP ratio is different by diagnostic categories. In France, FGAPs are largely prescribed by GPs mainly for the elderly, but young and adult patients are concerned as well. Inappropriate antipsychotic consumption through off‐label use, which adds to the co‐prescription, especially in vulnerable population groups, mainly concerns FGAP prescriptions by GPs who do not have psychiatric training and limited contact with psychiatrists. Attention should then be brought to the regulatory advisory agencies in order to better inform and train the prescribers
