Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) Patients with contraindications to romosozumab or denosumab. 2) Patients with active infection or malignancy. 3) Patients who are currently pregnant, lactating, or willing to get pregnant. 4) Patients who do not give consent to this study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Compare the percent change of bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (L2-4), femoral neck and total hip at 52 weeks in the romosozumab and denosumab groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Compare the percent change of bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip between the romosozumab and denosumab groups at 26, 78, 104, 130, and 156 weeks. 2) Compare the percent change of bone mineral density of the trochanter and the change of bone turnover markers at 26, 52, 78, 104, 130, and 156 weeks between the romosozumab and denosumab groups. 3) Compare the incidence of new fractures between the romosozumab and denosumab groups. 4) Compare the incidence of adverse events between the romosozumab and denosumab groups. | — |
