A total of 61.87% were using licensed doses. The median estradiol concentration was 355.26 pmol/L (interquartile range 198.44-646.15 pmol/L). A reference interval for the whole cohort was defined as 54.62-2,050.55 pmol/L. There was substantial interindividual variation across the dose range. Variance was greater in younger women (P = 0.002) and gel users (P = 0.002). There was a trend toward greater variance in women using higher doses, but the association failed to reach statistical significance (P = 0.074). One in four women (24.84%) using the highest licensed dose had subtherapeutic levels (<200 pmol/L). Older women (≥50 y) and patch users were more likely to have low levels (odds ratio 1.77, 95% confidence interval 1.22-2.62, P = 0.003; and odds ratio 1.51, 95% confidence interval 1.18-1.95, P = 0.001, respectively).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The reference interval for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women using on-label and off-label doses of transdermal estradiol in the real world is wide, and there is considerable interindividual variation. The number of estradiol users with low estradiol levels (<200 pmol/L) is higher than previously recognized. Measurement of serum estradiol can be helpful to identify women who may benefit from an off-label dose. Dose customization is key to ensure that all women can reap the benefits of HT.</p>","PeriodicalId":18435,"journal":{"name":"Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142846977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
