Risk-Based Approach

Meaning

A systematic clinical methodology that involves identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing potential adverse outcomes or complications before initiating a therapeutic intervention. In hormonal health, this means tailoring treatment decisions, monitoring intensity, and follow-up frequency based on an individual patient’s pre-existing conditions, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle factors. This proactive strategy ensures that the potential benefits of hormone therapy outweigh the specific, calculated risks for that patient.
