THROMBOEMBOLISM AND ORAL CONTRACEPTIVERS: AN EPIDEMIOLOGIC CASE-CONTROL STUDY12
Abstract
A retrospective study was conducted of thromboembolism by interviewing 175 married and unmarried women aged 15-44 discharged alive within 3 years from 43 hospitals in 5 U.S. cities. Thromboembolism included venous or arterial thrombosis with or without pulmonary embolism cerebral and coronary thrombosis and pulmonary embolism without a known source. 175 hospital controls were matched pairwise with cases on hospital residence time of hospitalization race age marital status parity and pay status. Both groups were free of obesity chronic conditions associated with thromboembolism and contraindications to pregnancy and were presumably fertile. 67 cases and 23 controls had used oral contraceptives until 1 month before entering hospital; 11 cases and controls had discontinued pills earlier. Duration of use did not affect risk. There were 57 case-control pairs in which only the case had used pills compared to 13 pairs in which only the control had used pills. The relative risk of thromboembolism for users was estimated to be 4.4 times that for nonusers. The risk was higher for sequential pill users. 25% of the cases were attributable to oral contraceptives.(Authors modified)

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.
