Description of intervention(s) / exposure

Secondary outcome [7] 378919 0
incident non vertebral fracture.
For non vertebral fracture, patients are seen 3 times weekly by dialysis staff. Patients will be asked to report any incident fracture. Patients will be asked about fracture by a study coordinator, who will contact patients at 3 monthly intervals. Fractures will be confirmed from imaging studies.

Secondary outcome [10] 381008 0
Incident vertebral fracture
Vertebral fracture will be diagnosed using standard definitions of a reduction in vertebral height of 20% or more. An incident vertebral fracture will be diagnosed if a vertebral fracture is present on the 12 month lateral spine X-ray that was not present on the baseline lateral spine X-ray.

Statistical methods / analysis
The primary analysis will be on intention to treat basis but a per protocol analysis will also be conducted. All adverse events will be collected and analysed. Prespecified subgroup analyses will be by age 50-59, 60-69 and equal to or greater than 70 years of age, by number of comorbid conditions based on the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA): 0, 1-2 and equal to or greater than 3 and on diabetes present / presumed or absent, also recorded from ANZDATA.
