Lucie Raskin: Comparing VTE Risk in Hormonal Contraceptives at NTHC 2026
Lucie Raskin, PhD student at University of Namur, shared on LinkedIn:
”Glad to have presented at NTHC 2026 (Namur Thrombosis and Hemostasis Center)!
I had the opportunity to share our work on a Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) assessing the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) associated with hormonal contraceptives (HCs).
This analysis allows us, within a single model, to compare the full range of HCs and to classify VTE risk according to the type of contraceptive.
By integrating all available evidence, this work provides a comprehensive overview that complements biological data and real-world pharmacovigilance findings.
Altogether, the evidence consistently suggests that natural estrogens may represent a safer option compared to EE-based COCs with respect to VTE risk.
I would like to thank my supervisors Jonathan Douxfils and Charlotte Beaudart, as well as the Research Unit in Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology (URPC) team for their support.”
