Risk assessment

Risk assessment is a core task of insurance physicians in the private sector when dealing with life, health, disability insurance. Using long-term adverse treatment effects of breast and testicular cancer’ as topic,  we developed a concept on how to find systematic reviews about risk assessment. After identifying appropriate search terms and screening 120 search results we found four reviews which met the inclusion criteria. We will use our concept to cover reviews about risk assessment from other topics.
