The trabecular bone score (TBS) is an index of bone microarchitectural texture calculated from anteroposterior dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans of the lumbar spine (LS) that predicts fracture risk, independent of bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to compare the effects of yearly intravenous zoledronate (ZOL) versus placebo (PLB) on LS BMD and TBS in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Changes in TBS were assessed in the subset of 107 patients recruited at the Department of Osteoporosis of the University Hospital of Berne, Switzerland, who were included in the HORIZON trial. All subjects received adequate calcium and vitamin D3. In these patients randomly assigned to either ZOL (n=54) or PLB (n=53) for 3 years, BMD was measured by DXA and TBS assessed by TBS iNsight (v1.9) at baseline and 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after treatment initiation. Baseline characteristics (mean +/- SD) were similar between groups in terms of age, 76.8 +/- 5.0 years; body mass index (BMI), 24.5 +/- 3.6kg/m2; TBS, 1.178 +/- 0.1 but for LS T-score (ZOL2.9 +/- 1.5 versus PLB2.1 +/- 1.5). Changes in LS BMD were significantly greater with ZOL than with PLB at all time points (p
