Differences between protocol and review

Since the protocol, the primary outcomes were categorized into efficacy and harms. Patients with idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO) have been excluded from the review, due to the small numbers of retrieved studies. The title of the review was subsequently revised to include only children and adolescents with secondary osteoporosis. Additionally, distal femur changes were added to the first primary outcome, total participants were added to the fifth primary outcome, and linear growth was added to the secondary outcomes. Another reviewer (NB) assisted with quality assessments. Two reviewers were added (ACT, IG).
