Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls
Should We Screen For Thrombophilia Pre-OCP? March 2024 Data
10 Mar 2024
The ACOG, CDC, and WHO currently do not recommend universal screening for thrombophilia in the general population before starting oral contraceptive pills. However, a new publication in AJOG (March 2024) is challenging that stance. In this episode, we will review this new prospective population-based study to see if it makes the case for universal screening for thrombophilia variants before starting OCPs. In this episode, we’ll also discuss high-risk versus low-risk thrombophilia, discuss relative risk versus absolute risk of VTE on the combination pill, and give clear clinical implications for patient management.
