Teriparatide increases BMD in patients with glucocorticoid-Induced osteoporosis .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Teriparatide or Alendronate in Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis
N Engl J Med. 2007 Nov 15;357(20):2028-39428 patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis were randomised to receive one of two treatments. The first group received a treatment of 20 μg teriparatide daily while the second group received a 10 mg alendronate treatment. The primary outcome was change in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine from baseline to the 18-month follow-up. Results indicated that bone mineral density increased more in patients from the teriparatide group compared to the those in the alendronate group.
