We aim to evaluate both the overall mortality and mortality without BM in RCC patients. We also aim to elucidate the effects of bone-remodeling therapy on mortality rates and opioid usage patterns in patients with BM. We hypothesize that overall mortality and chronic pain diagnoses are higher in those with BM compared to those without. METHODS: The TriNetX database was queried for all adult patients with a diagnosis of RCC, using the ICD-10 codes C64.1 and C64.2. Subsequently, patients with BM were queried through the ICD-10 codes C79.51, of which those with a subsequent chronic pain diagnosis were found under the following ICD-10 codes: R52, G89.4, and G89.29. Patients taking the following medications were also queried for the above cohorts: bisphosphonates (zoledronate, ibandronate, risedronate, alendronate, etidronate, pamidronate) and RANKL-inhibitors (RANKL-I) (denosumab). Patients receiving opioids were identified by searching the following: hydrocodone, hydromorphone, morphine, codeine, tramadol, oxycodone, and naloxone (proxy for opioid prescription). Statistical analysis was conducted for the chronic pain cohort using a Fischer's Exact test. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test. RESULTS: 5-year survival in patients with and without BM, as well as that of patients with BM treated with either bisphosphonates or RANKL-I is shown in Figure 1. Notably, patients treated with a RANKL-I had a significantly lower rate of opioid prescription (65.3%) when compared to patients taking bisphosphonates (OR 0.722, p<0.001, 95% CI: 0.608 - 0.857) or to patients untreated with bone-modifying therapy (OR 1.195, p<0.001, 95% CI: 1.055 - 1.352). Patients treated with a RANKL-I had comparable rates of opioid prescription with patients with no BM whatsoever. CONCLUSIONS: RCC with BM has an overall poor prognosis – however, treatment with bone-modifying agents may confer improved survival rates with less need for opioid pain medications. Also, RANKL-I may serve as a safer alternative to narcotics in the management of pain associated with BM.
