Zoledronic acid in the prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis .
This report has been verified

original publication.
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.
Zoledronic acid and risedronate in the prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (HORIZON): a multicentre, double-blind, double-dummy, randomised controlled trial
Lancet. 2009 Apr 11;373(9671):1253-63833 patients, undergoing treatment with glucocorticoids for 12 months, were randomized to receive zoledronic acid or risedronate in this double blind, double dummy trial. This study assessed the non-inferiority of one injection of zoledronic acid for the prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis compared to the daily oral risedronate dosage. Following the one year treatment period, patients receiving treatment with zoledronic acid demonstrated a greater increase in bone mineral density. However, this treatment was associated with more adverse events.
