We have confirmed that this is distinct from other mixs terms.

This term should replace existing term for HRT, because hormones are not being replaced, they are being supplemented. @lakarstens will add a more detailed comment.

We recommend that the hrt term be updated to suppl_hormone as the term 'hormone replacement therapy' is an unfavored and outdated term since hormone therapy supplements hormones and does not replace them.
