- W2304098052 abstract "Does the use of post-menopausal vaginal estradiol (VE) affect the mortality risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. The use of VE reduces the risk for cardiovascular mortality. A growing number of women use VE for post-menopausal genitourinary symptoms. Although this therapy is intended to have only local effects, estrogen is absorbed into the blood circulation and thus VE use may also have systemic effects. We studied a nationwide cohort in Finland 1994–2009 during which post-menopausal women (n = 195 756) initiated the use of VE (age [mean ± SD] 65.7 ± 10.9 years). Follow-up data gathered 1.4 million women-years and we assessed the mortality risk due to CHD (n= 9656) or stroke (n = 4294). The mortality risk in VE users was compared with that in the age-matched background population (standardized mortality ratio; [SMR]; 95% confidence interval) and related to various durations of exposure to VE (1 to ≤3, >3 to ≤5, >5 to ≤10 and >10 years). The use of VE was accompanied by decreases in the risk for CHD and stroke death. The risk reduction for CHD death was highest for >3 to ≤5 years exposure (SMR 0.64; 0.57–0.70) and for stroke for >5 to ≤10 years exposure (SMR 0.64; 0.57–0.72). The risk reductions for both CHD and stroke mortality were detected in all age groups with the highest risk reduction being in women aged 50–59 years (SMR 0.43; 0.19–0.88 and SMR 0.21; 0.06–0.58, respectively). Our series lack a placebo arm and thus, may harbor a healthy woman bias. Moreover, data on clinical variables such as weight, smoking, blood pressure and family background were unobtainable for this study. Women using both VE and systemic hormone therapy (HT) were included in the comparator background population. This should not cause any significant error because the proportion of women using VE or other HT was modest (<10% in age-matched population) and because the use of systemic HT also reduces death risks in the same population. Our data cannot be directly applied for local regimens containing conjugated equine estrogens, because they are absorbed differently and may show effects that differ from those of estradiol. In 1000 women using VE for up to 10 years, a maximum of 24 fewer CHD deaths and 18 fewer stroke deaths is likely to occur.
