Risk Assessment Extrapolation

Meaning

Risk Assessment Extrapolation is a methodological practice in clinical decision-making where data on health risks gathered from one population or setting is systematically applied to estimate the risk profile of a different, but related, patient group. In the hormonal health space, this often involves applying general population data on hormone therapy side effects to a personalized, optimized wellness protocol. This technique requires careful clinical judgment to ensure the relevance and accuracy of the inferred risk profile for the individual patient.
