Study design details

Main study objective

To estimate and compare the incidence rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among women receiving bazedoxifene and women receiving a bisphosphonate for treatment of osteoporosis.

Outcomes

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), • Ischemic stroke• Thrombotic and ischemic cardiac disorders (including myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, and coronary occlusion)• Atrial fibrillation• Biliary events: cholecystitis, cholelithiasis• Hypertriglyceridemia • Fractures• Chronic and acute renal failure (including chronic renal insufficiency and end stage renal disease)• Malignancies including breast, renal, ovar

Data analysis plan

Incidence rates will be calculated for all endpoints in all treatment groups, incidence rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated and compared. Stratifications by risk factors of interest
