STRAW+10

What is STRAW+10?

In the International Experts Clarify Hormonal Changes of Menopause: New Report Will Help Clinicians Predict Onset of Menopause dated 16 February 2012, the International Menopause Society (IMS) elaborate on:

“Published simultaneously today in four top-tier journals, a new report provides a framework within which physicians and researchers can systematically and consistently identify the different reproductive stages women go though from adolescence to menopause and beyond. The report, named STRAW+10, will help clinicians predict when a woman will enter menopause and guide the selection of treatment options for menopausal symptoms and other related conditions”.2

The IMS also explain:

“STRAW+10 represents an update to the landmark STRAW (Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop) system put into place ten years ago that paved the way for international studies that have led to a greater understanding of reproductive aging in women”.3

Summary

What did the authors note in their Conclusions?

In the Executive Summary of the Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop + 10: Addressing the Unfinished Agenda of Staging Reproductive Aging: Conclusions the authors note:

STRAW+10“STRAW + 10 provides a more comprehensive basis for assessing reproductive aging in research and clinical contexts. Application of the STRAW + 10 staging system should improve comparability of studies of midlife women and facilitate clinical decision making. Nonetheless, important knowledge gaps persist, and seven research priorities are identified”.4
