Article Synopsis
- This project is focused on creating eligibility criteria for menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), modeled after existing contraception guidelines.
- A consortium of scientific societies, led by the Spanish Menopause Society, conducted extensive research including 14 systematic reviews and 32 meta-analyses to assess MHT's safety across various health conditions.
- The results culminated in a structured eligibility framework categorizing MHT use from unrestricted to contraindicated, based on WHO standards and evaluated quality of evidence, aimed at aiding healthcare professionals in making informed decisions.
