    Hormonal contraceptive (HC) use during the postpartum period may elevate venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk, especially with combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs). This study examined utilization patterns of HC initiation in the postpartum period among women in the U.S. FDA Sentinel System from 2012 through 2024. This poster was presented at the 2025 ISPE Annual Meeting.
