Real-world effectiveness of burosumab vs oral phosphate and active vitamin D in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia

J Bone Miner ResPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In this real-world analysis of adults with XLH, burosumab treatment was associated with improved biochemical parameters, pain, physical function, and mobility compared with Pi/D.
