Random effects analysis of the studies for the association between bisphosphonate use and subtrochanteric, femoral shaft, and atypical femur fracture (AFF), stratified by outcome definition (x-ray confirmation of fractures and/or confirmation of fractures meeting ASBMR criteria for AFF). Point (square) and overall (diamond) estimates are given as risk ratios with 95% confidence interval (CI) (horizontal bar). aAlthough most cases met the ASBMR-criteria, Feldstein et al did include a small number of cases which did not have the classic “transverse” or “short oblique” fracture angle required for ASBMR definition of AFF.
