Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With New Vertebral Fracture Through Month 12 [ Time Frame: 12 Months ]

    New vertebral fractures occurred when there was ≥ 1 grade increase from the previous grade of 0 in any vertebra from T4 to L4 using the Genant semiquantitative scoring method.

    The Genant semiquantitative scoring method was based on assessment of x-rays according to the following scale:

    • Grade 0 (Normal) = no fracture;
    • Grade 1 (Mild) = mild fracture, 20 to 25% reduction in vertebral height (anterior, middle, or posterior);
    • Grade 2 (Moderate) = moderate fracture, 25 to 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height;
    • Grade 3 (Severe) = severe fracture, greater than 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height.

  2. Percentage of Participants With New Vertebral Fracture Through Month 24 [ Time Frame: 24 months ]

    New vertebral fractures occurred when there was ≥ 1 grade increase from the previous grade of 0 in any vertebra from T4 to L4 using the Genant semiquantitative scoring method.

    The Genant semiquantitative scoring method was based on assessment of x-rays according to the following scale:

    • Grade 0 (Normal) = no fracture;
    • Grade 1 (Mild) = mild fracture, 20 to 25% reduction in vertebral height (anterior, middle, or posterior);
    • Grade 2 (Moderate) = moderate fracture, 25 to 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height;

In addition, fractures associated with high trauma severity or pathologic fractures were excluded.

  4. Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Fracture Through Month 24 [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
