Text: EE/CMA and EE/DSG had a similar effect on hemostatic parameters, the EE/LNG group showed comparatively smaller increases in the activity of factor VII [8. 1 % vs. 36. 6 % (EE/CMA) and 28. 2 % (EE/DSG)], protein C [5. 9 % vs. 32. 9 % (EE/CMA) and 21 % (EE/DSG)] and endogenous thrombin potential-based activated protein C resistance [44. 1 % vs. 93. 5 % (EE/CMA) and 108. 1 % (EE/DSG)], and in contrast, free protein S levels decreased in the EE/CMA and EE/DSG groups (-12. 7 % and -4. 3 %, respectively) but rose in the EE/LNG group (20. 4 %).
