EURAS: Design

  • European Active Surveillance Study (EURAS),

part of phase IV commitment

  • Prospective multinational cohort study
  • Recruitment: 2000-2004
  • 142,475 womenyears of OC use, age 25 yrs.
  • Users stratified into DRSP, LNG, Other OCs
  • In total 118 VTE events
  • 92 (78%) DVT
  • 26 (22%) PE

Preferential prescribing

Are adipose women more likely to take 4th geneneration OCs? EURAS:

  • BMI Mean: Levo 22.0, 4th gen: 22.9
  • BMI >30: Levo: 4.4%, 4th gen: 7.0%
  • Mean age: Levo: 25.2 yrs. 4th gen 26.3 yrs

“The differences were small and the preferential prescribing pattern identified here could only slightly increase the incidence of VTE in the DRSP cohort”

OCs and activated protein C (APC) sensitivity test

Background

  • Protein C has an anticoagulant effect
  • Activated protein C (APC) enhances the

degradation of coagulation factors.

  • APC resistance can be inherited (Leiden V)
  • r acquired: pregnancy and OCs
  • APC resistance = reduced sensitivity for APC
  • Normalised APC sensitivity ratio (nAPCsr) is a

quantitave test for APC resistance.

OC and VTE: Conclusion

Conclusion

  • Risk of VTE about 50% higher the first year
  • 30-40 → 20ug EE: 18% reduction in risk
  • Norgestimate same risk as 2nd generation.
  • 4th generation same risk as 3rd generation
  • 3rd/4th generation higher risk than 2nd gen
  • POP:

No risk (low/middle dose)

  • Hormone IUD:

No risk
