After considering age, the following yielded the greatest positive likelihood ratios (LRs+): self assessment of going through the transition (LR+ range, 1.53-2.13), symptoms of hot flashes (LR+ range, 2.15-4.06), night sweats (LR+ 1.90; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.63-2.21), vaginal dryness (LR+ range, 1.48-3.79), high follicle-stimulating hormone levels (LR+ 3.06; 95% CI, 2.06-4.54), and low inhibin B levels (LR+ 2.05; 95% CI, 0.96-4.39). Self-assessment of perimenopausal status had the smallest negative LR (range, 0.18-0.36).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No one symptom or test is accurate enough by itself to rule in or rule out perimenopause.
