Using r and om-effects models , estrogen replacement therapy showed an increase in bone mineral density [ weighted mean change from baseline 0.09 g/cm2 ( 0.04–0.14 ) ] that differed by type of estrogen but not route of administration .
Oral estrogen replacement therapy showed a higher increase in high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels when compared to transdermal [ weighted mean difference 9.33 mg/dl ( 4.82–13.85 ) ] with no significant effect on other lipid fractions .
The current evidence suggests possible benefit of estrogen replacement therapy  on bone mineral density and high density lipoprotein cholesterol .
Patients with Turner syndrome have adverse bone and cardiovascular outcomes from chronic estrogen deficiency .
Hence , long-term estrogen replacement therapy is the cornerstone treatment .
The estimates of its effect and optimal use , however , remain uncertain .
We aim ed to summarize the benefits and harms of estrogen replacement therapy on bone , cardiovascular , vasomotor and quality of life outcomes in patients with Turner syndrome .
The pilot study.
This pilot aims to better underst and the market for childcare in Saudi Arabia – both the supply and dem and sides – and to design a r and omized controlled experiment to test whether access to affordable day care ( in the form of subsidies , for example ) would incentivize Saudi mothers to search actively for employment and to remain employed once they are hired . In addition , the study seeks to underst and the degree to which employment early on in one ’s life impacts employment in later stages . The pilot will provide information on the groups of women the experiment should target , appropriate levels for the childcare subsidy , and the quality and current geographic locations of daycare sites . Expected Impact Determine the effects of facilitating childcare access on Saudi women ’s employment .
