Objectives. To study the fracture risk associated with the use of corticosteroids in any
formulation and administration. Design. Case–control study. Setting. Community‐based …

Abstract Treatment with systemic corticosteroids is known to increase the risk of fractures but
little is known of the fracture risks associated with inhaled corticosteroids. A retrospective …

Studies of the risk of fracture associated with inhaled corticosteroids are inconclusive and
are limited to short-term effects. We assessed whether long-term use increases this risk. We …

Purpose Previous studies have indicated a relationship between oral corticosteroid use and
the risk of fracture, although without population‐based comparators or exact dose …

Objective. This study examined the effects of daily and cumulative oral corticosteroid doses

BACKGROUND The adverse effects of oral corticosteroids are widely recognised but there
are few quantitative data on which to base advice to patients. In a two part cross sectional …

We conducted a case–control study on fracture risk associated with the use of orally
administered prednisolone/prednisone, budesonide, methylprednisolone, and …

There is accumulating evidence that the use of inhaled corticosteroids is associated with a
dose-related reduction in bone mineral density. Whether this translates to an increase in …

Purpose—The objective of this study was an evaluation of the sensitivity of findings of the
relationship between oral corticosteroid use and the risk of fracture. We found in earlier work …
