Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form arthritis in the world, and its prevalence is predicted to rise higher in the future due to increasing life expectancy and growing number of elderly population. With the emergence of new treatment options in the last several years, a better understanding of OA diagnosis and management is required by every physician in Indonesia. Methods: A panel of eight selected rheumatologists from the Indonesian Rheumatologist Association (IRA) developed recommendations based on key questions formulated by a steering committee from IRA. These recommendation materials were taken from several online databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Level of evidence and grades of recommendation were then assigned, and each member of the panelist team will assign a score to express their level of agreement. Results: A total of 25 recommendations discussing the diagnosis, pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, as well as monitoring for OA were formulated. Conclusion: These recommendations can be used to help clinicians in accurately diagnosing OA and choosing the most suitable therapy for their patients. All recommendation statements were tailored to the clinical setting, facility, and drug availability in Indonesia.

Abstract

The pathophysiology of primary osteoporosis primarily involves changes at the cellular and bone tissue levels. This process involves an imbalance between the activity of bone-destroying cells (osteoclasts) and bone-constructing cells (osteoblasts). Osteoclasts are responsible for the resorption of old and damaged bone tissue, while osteoblasts build new bone. In osteoporosis, osteoclast activity increases and osteoblasts decrease, resulting in loss of bone mass. Treatment of primary osteoporosis involves a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes, use of medications, and fracture prevention. The main goal of management is to slow down the decline in bone density, prevent bone fractures, and improve the quality of life of sufferers. Increasing your intake of calcium and vitamin D, as well as regular physical exercise, can help maintain bone mass. Meanwhile, drugs such as bisphosphonates and teriparatide can be used to inhibit bone breakdown or stimulate new bone formation.
