“…Although Asian women generally have a reduced risk of pregnancy-associated VTE, this risk is increasing, highlighting the importance for obstetricians to recognize VTE risks, particularly among patients displaying clinical high-risk characteristics. 39 Insights from the Italian multicenter START Registry 40 shed light not only on pregnancy but also oral contraceptives as a risk factor for VTE in women. The study underscored the importance of screening for a family history of VTE in women of childbearing age, particularly those pregnant or using contraceptives.…”

“…10,11 Ethnic differences have also been observed in risk factors and the incidence of pregnancy-associated VTE. 12 Other studies indicate that family history of VTE is an important risk factor for VTE in women who are pregnant or who are taking COC, irrespective of thrombophilia status. [13][14][15] The results of Grandone and colleagues extend these findings, and suggest that family history of VTE has an even greater role in predicting COC-and pregnancy-associated VTE than those occurring outside these settings.…”

Risk Factors for Venous Thromboembolism in Women of Childbearing Age

Women have the potential to develop venous thromboembolism (VTE) during their lifetimes. The risk of VTE in women of childbearing age is modulated by the presence of individual risk factors (such as personal history of VTE, increasing age, smoking, inherited thrombophilia, immobility), exposure to hormonal risk factors (such as pregnancy and oral contraceptives), and family history. In pregnant women, multifetal pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, caesarean section and use of artificial reproductive assistance can increase the risk of VTE. In women taking combined oral contraceptives (COC), a higher dose of estrogen, and the type of progesterone can increase the risk of VTE. VTE has a higher likelihood of occurring when the combination of risk factors crosses the threshold for thrombosis. Data from Grandone and colleagues enhance our understanding of the relative importance of family history as a risk predictor and suggest that family history is an even more powerful predictor for pregnancy- or COC-associated VTE than for VTE occurring outside of pregnancy or COC.
