LIMITING Screen 3 of 8
Let's revisit our search question:
|
What are the risks
of heart diseases in
postmenopausal
women receiving
estrogen
replacement
therapy?
As you recall, our search combines the MeSH terms: "*estrogen replacement therapy" AND "exp *heart diseases".
|
The concepts of "postmenopausal" and "female/women" may be assumed concepts that we do not necessarily need to include in our search strategy. Estrogen replacement therapy is commonly received by postmenopausal women. Other groups -- men, children, teenage girls, etc. -- may rarely or never receive estrogen replacement therapy. Therefore, we do not need to include "postmenopausal women" in our search.
