RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the effects of pamidronate disodium combined with calcium on BMD values and the severity of pain in elderly patients with osteoporosis based on the mobile terminal platform for the Internet of Things. Methods: The data of 120 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the patients' condition and medication wills, they were divided into the experimental group (n = 68) and the control group (n = 52). All patients were given chronic disease management based on the mobile terminals for the Internet of Things, and they received the treatment of bisphosphonates and calcium, with the supplement of calcium at a daily dose of 1000 mg. The control group was given alendronate sodium once a week, and the experimental group was given pamidronate disodium by intravenous infusion three times a month, with the treatment cycle as 1 year. The patients' bone mineral density (BMD) values and the pain indexes were compared after treatment. Results: There was no statistical difference in general information between the two groups (p > 0.05). The BMD values of the lumbar vertebrae L2-4, total hip, and femur neck at 6 months and 1 year after treatment in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.001). The pain scores at 6 months and 1 year after treatment in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The treatment of pamidronate disodium combined with calcium based on the mobile terminal platform for the Internet of Things can reduce the severity of pain in elderly patients with osteoporosis and improve the BMD, which has a generalization value.
