Article Synopsis
  • Critical illness in women over 50 is linked to increased bone turnover and a higher risk of fractures, prompting this trial to assess the effectiveness of antiresorptive agents like zoledronic acid and denosumab.
  • The study monitored 18 critically ill women who received either the antiresorptive agents or a placebo and found that those on medication had a significant decrease in bone turnover markers within the first month.
  • Although there were no serious side effects noted, recruitment for the trial was slow, indicating the need for future studies to better understand the efficacy of these treatments and improve participant enrollment.
