Sex matters for personalized care

Virginia M Miller. Minn Med. 2013 Aug.

Abstract

The basic biological variable that distinguishes half the population from the other, sex, is rarely considered integral to the development of personalized treatment strategies. Yet sex is a fundamental aspect of human physiology. This article reviews evidence showing how sex influences patient outcomes and identifies ways to facilitate evidence-, sex-based approaches to patient care.
