BL baseline, BPI Short-Form Brief Pain Inventory, F/PF fracture/pseudofracture, LSM least-squares mean, OR odds ratio, pts patients, Placebo → burosumab, switch from placebo in double-blind phase to burosumab in extension phase (24 wks treatment with burosumab), TD treatment difference, mP/GFR maximum rate of tubular phosphate reabsorption/glomerular filtrate rate, wk week, WOMAC Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index

*p = 0.0012, **p < 0.001 vs placebo; p < 0.001, †† p < 0.0001 vs BL

aScores range from 0 to 10, with a decrease from BL indicating less pain

bScore ranges from 0 to 68, with a decrease from BL indicating better physical function

cScores range from 0 to 8, with a decrease from BL indicating less stiffness
