Journal ArticleDOI
Recommendations for the Clinical Evaluation of Agents for Treatment of Osteoporosis: Consensus of an Expert Panel Representing the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR), the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD), and the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF)†
TL;DR: A panel of experts representing ASBMR, NOF, and ISCD reached consensus that regulatory approval of treatments for osteoporosis should be based on trials with fracture endpoints, lasting 18‐24 mo, and extending treatment to 5 yr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four-Year Study of Intermittent Cyclic Etidronate Treatment of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: Three Years of Blinded Therapy Followed by One Year of Open Therapy
Steven T. Harris,Nelson B. Watts,Rebecca D. Jackson,Harry K. Genant,Richard D. Wasnich,Philip D. Ross,Paul D. Miller,Angelo A. Licata,Charles H. Chestnut +8 more
TL;DR: Three years of intermittent cyclic etidronate therapy produced significant increases in spinal and hip bone density, with a significant reduction in vertebral fracture rates in patients at higher fracture risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity, Health-Care Utilization, and Health-Related Quality of Life After Fracture in Postmenopausal Women: Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW)

Greenspan,Andrea Z. LaCroix,Robert Lindsay,J. Coen Netelenbos,Johannes Pfeilschifter,Christian Roux,Kenneth G. Saag,Stuart G. Silverman,Ethel S. Siris,Nelson B. Watts,Stephen H. Gehlbach +20 more
TL;DR: Obese women with fracture undergo a longer period of hospitalization for treatment and have poorer functional status and HRQL than nonobese women, whether these differences translate into higher economic costs and adverse effects on longer-term outcomes remains to be established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Fracture Risk Prediction by the US Preventive Services Task Force Strategy and Two Alternative Strategies in Women 50–64 Years Old in the Women's Health Initiative
Carolyn J. Crandall,Joseph C. Larson,Nelson B. Watts,Margaret L. Gourlay,Margaret L. Gourlay,Meghan G. Donaldson,Andrea Z. LaCroix,Jane A. Cauley,Jean Wactawski-Wende,Margery Gass,John A Robbins,Kristine E. Ensrud +11 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that fracture prediction in younger postmenopausal women requires assessment of risk factors not included in currently available strategies, and use of the USPSTF strategy, Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool, or SCORE to identify younger post menopausal women who are at higher risk of fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence of significant left-right differences in hip bone mineral density.
TL;DR: A statistically significant number of women with osteoporosis are potentially classified differently when scanning only one hip as a result of the high prevalence of left-right differences in BMD.
