The phrase "a slightly increased hazard" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing risks or dangers that have been elevated to a small degree, often in contexts like safety reports or risk assessments.
Example: "After the recent storm, there is a slightly increased hazard of landslides in the area."
Alternatives: "a minor heightened risk" or "a small elevated danger."
SCOUT demonstrated that long-term treatment with sibutramine had a slightly increased risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction (hazard ratio [HR], 1.28; 95% CI, 1.04 1.57; P = 0.02) and nonfatal stroke (HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.04 1.77; P = 0.03), but not of cardiovascular death or death from any cause, among subjects at high cardiovascular risk.

1 3 Recently, a slightly increased type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk has been linked to the use of statins, 4 7 although the West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) showed that statin users had a 30% reduction of the hazard of becoming diabetic.
The hazard ratio from the adjusted analysis for larvae compared with hydrogel was 1.13 (95% confidence interval 0.76 to 1.68, P=0.54), indicating a slightly increased likelihood of healing in the larvae group, although this was not statistically significant.
