Risk Stratification Models

Meaning

Risk Stratification Models are quantitative clinical tools, often sophisticated algorithms or statistical frameworks, utilized to categorize patients into distinct groups based on their probability of experiencing a specific adverse health outcome, such as cardiovascular events or endocrine-related cancers. These models integrate multiple patient data points—including age, genetic markers, lifestyle factors, and specific hormonal biomarkers—to generate a predictive, composite risk score. They are indispensable for guiding preventative strategies and tailoring the intensity of monitoring and personalized intervention protocols.
