Oral Contraceptives and the Risk of Venous Thrombosis
Open accessAbstract
In the early 1960s, shortly after the introduction of oral contraceptives, the first case reports appeared describing venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli in women using this method of birth control. Later, myocardial infarction and stroke were also found to be associated with the use of oral contraceptives. These observations led to numerous epidemiologic and clinical studies of oral-contraceptive pills and thrombosis and subsequently to the development of new oral contraceptives with a lower estrogen content. These lower-estrogen contraceptives were considered safer: changes in hemostatic factors remained small, inconsistent in direction, and mostly within the normal range.14 Recent studies have . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
