Population: Full analysis set

Serious adverse events that were considered related to denosumab were classified as serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs). A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE that also: • is fatal • is life threatening (places the patient at immediate risk of death) • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • is a congenital anomaly/birth defect • is an "other significant medical hazard" that does not meet any of the above criteria.
