In November, 2008, a 37-year-old previously healthy man presented to us with a 6-week history of headache and neck pain occurring while sitting or standing, but not when lying down. CT of the head and cervical spine and one as an outpatient 12 days earlier had been normal. He had no history of trauma, operation, spinal infiltration, or lumbar puncture. Physical examination was unremarkable. Postural headache caused by intracranial hypotension was diagnosed. He was managed conservatively with bed rest, oral rehydration, and theophylline; he quickly improved and was discharged 3 days later. (Source: LANCET)

International Active Surveillance Study of Women Taking Oral Contraceptives (INAS-OC Study)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
DiscussionThe feasibility of the study is considered to be very high because of its similar design to the EURAS-OC study. All relevant methodological and logistical features of the study were successfully tested in the EURAS study.The chosen design minimizes the impact of referral and misclassification bias, healthy user effect and loss to follow-up. Overall, it is expected that the study design is robust enough to interpret hazard ratios of 1.5 or higher. (Source: BioMed Central)
