Patient-Related Factors

Meaning

Patient-Related Factors encompass the unique, inherent characteristics of an individual that are independent of a specific medical treatment but profoundly influence the manifestation, progression, and ultimate outcome of a health condition or therapeutic intervention. These variables include a patient’s specific genetic makeup, chronological age, adherence to lifestyle recommendations, existing comorbidities, and socioeconomic determinants of health. Recognizing and integrating these diverse factors is the core principle of personalized medicine and precision endocrinology.
