Zoledronic acid reduces rates of new clinical fractures after hip fracture repair .
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 Clinical Fractures and Mortality after Hip Fracture
N Engl J Med. 2007 Nov 1;357(18):1799-809. Epub 2007 Sep 17
2127 patients were randomized to one of two groups to examine the rates of new clinical fractures after hip fracture repair. The first group received an annual infusion of zoledronic acid (a potent bisphosphonate), while the second group received a placebo. Results indicated that an annual infusion of zoledronic acid is associated with reduced rates of new clinical fractures and subsequently, morbidity.
