Intervention Type OTHER

The BoHemE study does not provide any recommendations for treatment. Guidelines for osteoporosis treatment and standardized instructions for MDS patients are available, however the choice of treatment is up to the treating physician and should be reported as such.

Group 2 (control group)

Observational

Intervention Type OTHER

The BoHemE study does not provide any recommendations for treatment. Guidelines for osteoporosis treatment and standardized instructions for MDS patients are available, however the choice of treatment is up to the treating physician and should be reported as such.
