摘要
Oral contraceptives (OCs) increase risk of venous thromboembolic disease (VTE). The incidence of thomboembolic disease in healthy young women who are not taking OCs is 0.4-0.8/10,000, and in healthy young women using OCs, it is 3-4/10,000. To assess whether a family history of thromboembolism is a suitable tool to identify women who should not be given OCs, 50 women who suffered a VTE while taking OCs were studied. Only 16% of these women had family history which is why in our opinion, it is not a sufficient safeguard to recommending the use of OCs.
