Menopause

Menopause

Menopause, a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's fertility, typically occurs between the fifth and sixth decade of life. This phase is characterized by the exhaustion of the ovarian follicle pool, leading to less responsive ovaries despite the high levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). The consequential decrease in estrogen production results in symptoms like hot flashes, heavy sweating, headaches, hair loss, muscle pains, vaginal...

Area of Science:

Women's Health
Clinical Informatics
Nursing Research

Background:

Menopause significantly impacts global female health, requiring enhanced awareness and research.
Standardized tools are needed for effective menopause symptom assessment and management.
Existing menopause symptom checklists lack consistent mapping to clinical data systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify validated menopause symptom checklists.
To map identified menopause symptoms to the Omaha System signs and symptoms terms.
To establish a standardized framework for tracking menopausal symptoms.

Main Methods:

A consensus approach was employed to identify menopause symptoms from six evidence-based checklists.
Symptoms were mapped to Omaha System signs/symptoms using exact (full match) or similar (partial match) criteria.
Over 293 source text menopause symptoms were mapped to 21 Omaha System problems and their associated signs/symptoms.

Main Results:

A standardized list of 72 signs/symptoms for 21 problems was generated.
97.2% of signs/symptoms showed a full match at the problem level within the Omaha System.
93.1% of signs/symptoms achieved a full or partial match at the signs/symptoms level.

Conclusions:

This study provides a foundation for standardized, data-driven tracking of menopause symptoms.
The developed checklist enables clinicians and researchers to assess and evaluate symptoms effectively.
This standardization facilitates the development of personalized treatment approaches for menopause management.
