Abstract
In a national case-control study of fatal pulmonary embolism in New Zealand women of childbearing age, we estimated that current users of combined oral contraceptives had a relative risk of 9·6 (95% CI 3·1–29·1). From national distribution data, the absolute risk of death from pulmonary embolism in current users was estimated to be 10·5 per million woman-years.
