The role of thrombophilia in the elevated risk of thromboembolism during oral contraceptive use has been established. We performed a cross-sectional study among young women to survey the occurrence of antiphospholipid antibodies among users and non-users of oral contraceptives. Serum levels of immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgA and IgM isotypes of anti-beta2-glycoprotein I and anticardiolipin antibodies were measured by validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. Combining all types of antiphospholipid antibodies, pill-users had an elevated antibody titre more than twice as frequently as non-users (odds ratio, 2.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-5.1). The higher frequency of elevated antibody titre was related most commonly to IgG type anti-beta2-glycoprotein I antibodies. Oral contraceptive use increases the risk of elevated antiphospholipid antibody levels among asymptomatic young women.

D007132 Immunoglobulin Isotypes The classes of immunoglobulins found in any species of animal. In man there are nine classes that migrate in five different groups in electrophoresis; they each consist of two light and two heavy protein chains, and each group has distinguishing structural and functional properties.

D016017 Odds Ratio The ratio of two odds. The exposure-odds ratio for case control data is the ratio of the odds in favor of exposure among cases to the odds in favor of exposure among noncases. The disease-odds ratio for a cohort or cross section is the ratio of the odds in favor of disease among the exposed to the odds in favor of disease among the unexposed. The prevalence-odds ratio refers to an odds ratio derived cross-sectionally from studies of prevalent cases.
