Fractures and mortality in relation to different osteoporosis treatments.
The researchers aimed to determine if fracture and mortality rates vary among patients initiating different osteoporosis medications. They found that IV ibandronate and calcitonin were associated with higher rates of some types of fracture when compared to IV zolendronic acid. The relatively high mortality associated with use of calcitonin may reflect the poorer health of users of this agent.
