Coffee drinking and myocardial infarction in young women
Abstract
The effect of consumption of caffeine-containing coffee on the risk of myocardial infarction in women 30-49 years of age was investigated. In this study 487 patients with first infarctions were compared with 980 controls whose admissions were for acute emergencies. Overall and in various subgroups, coffee drinking and myocardial infarction were weakly and not significantly associated: the overall estimated relative risk for women drinking at least five cups daily, compared with women drinking none, was 1.4 after control for all identified potential confounding factors (95% confidence interval, 1.0-1.9). Also, the frequency of coffee drinking was greater among controls, whose admissions were for acute emergencies, than among other patients without myocardial infarction, most of whom had been admitted for chronic conditions. If patients of the latter type tend to avoid coffee, then their inclusion in the control series of previous hospital-based studies may have led to overestimation of the magnitude of the association between coffee and myocardial infarction.

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.
