Long-Term HRT Outcomes

Meaning

Long-Term HRT Outcomes refer to the cumulative clinical effects, both beneficial and adverse, observed in individuals who have utilized Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for periods typically exceeding five years. Evaluating these outcomes involves a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular health, bone mineral density, cognitive function, and the relative risks of specific cancers. This assessment is crucial for personalized clinical decision-making, moving beyond short-term symptom relief to address the patient’s overall longevity and quality of life trajectory. Ongoing dialogue between patient and clinician must address the evolving risk-benefit profile of continued therapy.
