Lay summary

Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more likely to break (fracture). Treatment options for osteoporosis have been effective to reduce fracture risk but it is unknown which type of treatment is better. There may be differences in characteristics (age, medical condition, fracture history etc) amongst patients receiving different treatments. The differences in patient characteristics that may affect the type of treatment they receive and also their risk of fracture are known as confounders. These confounders need to be accounted for to allow the treatment groups to be comparable.
