Mendel A, et al. - Between 2000 and 2017, researchers estimated 927 females to examine the prevalence of combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) in reproductive-age women with SLE with and without possible contraindications and their associated factors. They observed aPL (52%), hypertension (34%) and migraine with aura (22%) as the most common contraindications.

They noticed more than half of CHC users with at least one viable contraindication.
