OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between @entity583 and @entity64 and use of combined oral contraceptives. DESIGN: Review of literature. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Hospital of Merciful Brothers, Brno, Czech Republic. METHODS: Identification of methodologically sound studies able to address the topic. Studies were identified by Medline database search. RESULTS: Five the most recent and important studies were the main source of information (Oxford Family Planning Association Contraception Study 1984, Royal College of General Practitioners' Study 1994, WHO Collaborative Study of @entity65 and @entity134 Hormone Contraception 1996, 1997, Transnational Study on Oral Contraceptives and the Health of Young @entity1 1997, @entity583 and Oral Contraceptives Study, 1997). Generally there was no evidence of a significantly increased risk of @entity455 in healthy non smoked users younger than 35 years. No difference between second and third generation oral contraceptives on risk of @entity455 were found. In the most of cases of @entity583 or @entity64 one or more risk factor were identified. Two of the most relevant risk factors are smoking and the absence of blood pressure control. CONCLUSION: The risk of @entity65 seems not to be increased at no-risk users (healthy non-smoker younger than 35 years).
