Association between lipid-lowering drugs （statins and fibrates） and venous thromboembolism： a case-control study

AIM: Previous studies of selected patients have suggested a reduction in the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with the use of statins, and no effect of fibrates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between statin and fibrate use and the risk of VTE. METHODS: The present report used data from an ongoing hospital-based case-control study designed to investigate genetic and environmental risk factors of VTE. This study started in May 2000 in a single centre in Brest, France, and included patients consecutively hospitalized for a documented     

Neuroleptics are associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism： a case-control study.

AIM: Preliminary reports suggest that use of antipsychotic drugs is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but others did not confirm these results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between antipsychotic drugs and VTE. METHODS: The present report used data from an ongoing hospital-based case-control study designed to investigate genetic and environmental risk factors of VTE. This study started in May 2000 in a single centre in Brest, France. and
