BMD, bone mineral density; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio (teriparatide versus risedronate). Adjusted by treatment, antecedent of recent clinical vertebral fracture, recent use of bisphosphonate, age, baseline femoral neck BMD, baseline 25-hydroxy-vitamin D concentration, geographical region, and time-varying covariate treatment-by-time interaction
