Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the effects of zoledronic acid on bone mineral density in patients after bariatric surgery., ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effects of zoledronic acid on bone structure and metabolism and muscle mass, strength and physical function in patients after bariatric surgery., ;Primary end point(s): Bone mineral density by DXA at the proximal femur ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12, 24 and 36 months after bariatric surgery | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): ? CT of lumbar spine and total hip (assessment of volumetric BMD and bone structure), ?high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) of radius and tibia (assessment of bone microarchitecture and estimated bone strength), ?biochemical markers of bone metabolism (bone remodeling markers CTX and P1NP) ?osteokines (sclerostin, osteocalcin, insulin-like growth factor 1, endothelial growth factor) ?microindentation of proximal tibia (assessment of bone stiffness) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12,24 and 36 months after bariatric surgery | — |
