Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Bone mineral density (BMD) (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) is used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in patients over 50 years of age. After intravenous injection of 5 mg of zoledronic acid, the side effects, type and severity are assessed. At the end of the first year, the effect of the zoledronic acid injection is evaluated by re-evaluating the BMD. | — |
