Woman allegedly spent €750,000 on luxury handbags in Dublin store as part of money laundering scheme, court told Using monthly prescription records the women were assigned to one of eight menopausal hormone treatment types. Hospital records were then used to track cardiovascular events over two years, and other potentially influential factors such as age, education level, region of residence, high blood pressure and diabetes were taken into account.Compared with not starting menopausal hormone therapy, using oral combined continuous therapy was associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease.
The British Medical Journal notes that these are observational findings, meaning “no firm conclusions can be drawn about causality”, and the authors point to limitations including a lack of data on menopausal status and the possibility that other unmeasured factors, such as smoking and body mass index, may have affected their results.
