We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of recurrent periods of 3 versus 6 years of zoledronic acid treatment prior to 3-year bisphosphonate holidays for US postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and femoral neck BMD T-scores between− 2.5 and− 3.5. We found that cycles of 3 years of treatment followed by holidays is likely to be the more cost-effective option. Introduction We compared the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of cycles of 3 years versus 6 years of zoledronic acid treatment prior to 3-year bisphosphonate holidays for US postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Methods We developed an individual-level state-transition microsimulation cost-effectiveness model to compare treatment strategies over the lifetime of recurrent periods of 3 years of zoledronic acid followed by 3-year holidays (zoledronic acid 3/3), recurrent periods of 6 years of zoledronic acid followed by 3-year holidays (zoledronic acid 6/3), and no zoledronic acid treatment for women with osteoporosis and femoral neck BMD T-scores between− 2.5 and− 3.5. Results Base-case analysis and all key parameter sensitivity analysis findings for every treatment initiation age evaluated (50, 60, 70, and 80) revealed that zoledronic acid 3/3 was consistently the most cost-effective strategy, assuming a willingness-to-pay of 100,000perquality-adjustedlife-year(QALY).Ingeneral,thezoledronicacid3/3and6/3strategieswererelativelycloseineffectiveness(QALYs)overthelifetime;however,lifetimedirecthealthcarecostswereonaverageapproximately 2000 lower for the 3/3 strategy.
