Risk factors for myocardial infarction in young women.
Open accessAbstract
Seventy-seven women discharged from hospital with a diagnosis of myocardial infarction and 207 control patients were investigated. All were under 45 years of age at the time of admission. Heavy cigarette smoking, reported treatment for pre-eclamptic toxaemia, and type II hyperlipoproteinaemia were found to be independent risk factors for myocardial infarction. Reported treatment for hypertension and diabetes are probably also independently associated with subsequent development of the condition, but the associations between myocardial infarction and reported treatment for obesity and psychiatric illness appear to be secondary. Previous publications have suggested that use of oral contraceptives is an independent risk factor. Examination of the effect of several factors combined, suggests that they act synergistically, the presence of three or more factors increasing the risk 128-fold.

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.
