Reply: Karen Lee: "WHI - ?" Terry Well said. And the population was: women age 50-79 (avg 63 at start of WHI) without vasomotor symptoms and with a 50% rate of smoking. So ... what can we take home? Is it that you don't start your older postmenopausal woman who has no vasomotor symptoms and smokes on HRT after the age of 63? The more I learn about how the WHI was done and who was in it - the less convinced I am of anything that comes out of it. And the number of "sound bites" the public gets - where the conficdence intervals include 1 - bothers me. just a bit ;) Joanne At Fri, 5 Mar 2004, Terrence.Jones@kp.org wrote: > >try keeping in mind the comment from Dr. Simon (GWU) >from NAMS 11/03 -- "One must be extremely careful about extending both the >benefits and the risks seen here beyond the population in which they were >assessed."

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
