Table 4
Comparison of randomized double-blind controlled trials of bone change in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis comparing combined estrogen [Conjugated Equine Estrogen (CEE) or Estradiol (E2)] plus progesterone or medroxyprogesterone (MPA) and documenting percentage (%) change per year in Bone Mineral Density.
: dual photon absorptiometry, SPA: single photon absorptiometry, DXA: dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
*Anti-R: antiresorptive therapy, #OME: oral micronized estradiol. Note that the two estrogen-dose arms of the Lindsay study were considered as two different studies in the mean spine bone change.
