“…An association was also found with an MHT duration of 2 to 5 years, which is in alignment with current evidence, where an increased risk of venous thromboembolism was reported in the first 1–2 years of treatment, and an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers with treatment periods longer than 5 years [ 35 , 37 , 38 ].

In the subgroup analysis, similar results were found as in the overall analysis.…”
