Reviewer 2 Report
This is an interesting article, an original subject with very little data world-wide.
The methodology is good, but I propose to review data about inform consent " All participants provided written informed consent to participate: (80) because it was mentioned that it is "a retrospective cohort study" (20).
Probably it should be mentioned in conclusions (241) clear data about study duration, short term study ( 2y for this time of treatment)
Congratulations nice study and I wait to see it published and indexed for meta-analysis.

Thank you for your comments.
Point 1: The methodology is good, but I propose to review data about inform consent " All participants provided written informed consent to participate: (80) because it was mentioned that it is "a retrospective cohort study" (20).
Response 1: We've made the correction that "This study was approved by the institutional review board of KMUH (KMUHIRB-E(I)- 20210018), which waived the requirement of informed consent for this retrospective study."
Point 2: Probably it should be mentioned in conclusions (241) clear data about study duration, short term study ( 2y for this time of treatment)
Response 2: We've added the description that "In this retrospective cohort study over a minimum of 2 years follow-up , new denosumab users showed similar renal function status before and after denosumab treatment."
