• Resumen

  • The article focuses on personalized medicine in disease and injury prevention. It states recommendations in regards to prevention shouldn't change among subgroups unless the physician believes the expected benefit from the recommendation would differ to a large degree and that emotional, physical, and economic costs for patient adherence would be too great to justify the cost. It talks about considering potential years of life saved when gauging a difference in impact of preventive medicine.
