From September, 2009, to January, 2011, we enrolled postmenopausal women with osteoporosis into this randomised, controlled trial.
Patients were assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive 20 μg teriparatide daily, 60 mg denosumab every 6 months, or both.
Women who completed at least one study visit after baseline were assessed in a modified intention-to-treat analysis.
