  • Title: [Survey of vascular accidents caused by oral contraceptives].
    Author: Fenasse R, Arnaud-Rame M, Emran J, Serment H.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1969 Oct; 64(10):525-8. PubMed ID: 5402735.
    Abstract:
    The authors sent questionnaires to the members of the French speaking Gynecology and Obstetrics societies and received 216 replies, of which 129 covering 86,700 patients are summarized here. There were 53 cases of phlebitis, 4 of pulmonary embolism, 2 of acute hypertension, 1 of hypotension, 1 of cerebral thrombosis, 1 of retinal hemorrhage, 1 of facial paralysis and 1 of acute pancreatitis and mesenteric infarction. If the 57 cases of phlebitis and pulmonary embolism are grouped, the frequency is 6.5 per 1000, which is not sufficiently greater than 2 per 1000 found by Drill in nonpregnant women, to incrimin ate the pill. The frequency of morbidity from phlebitis and thromboembo lism in this survey may be artificially low because most respondents wer e gynecologists; some women with these disorders may have consulted other physicians.
