Walter A. Rocca,James H. Bower,Demetrius M. Maraganore,J. E. Ahlskog,Brandon R. Grossardt,M. De Andrade,Lee J. Melton +6 more

TL;DR: The use of conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) increases the risk of stroke, decreases therisk of hip fracture, and does not affect CHD incidence in postmenopausal women with prior hysterectomy over an average of 6.8 years, indicating no overall benefit.

Breast cancer and hormone-replacement therapy in the Million Women Study.
TL;DR: Current use of HRT is associated with an increased risk of incident and fatal breast cancer; the effect is substantially greater for oestrogen-progestagen combinations than for other types of H RT.

Bootstrap confidence intervals : when, which, what? A practical guide for medical statisticians

Journal ArticleDOI
Breast cancer and hormone-replacement therapy: the Million Women Study.
TL;DR: A successful user bias is suggested, although the same effect might be seen if HRT accelerates rather than initiates breast-cancer growth, and women will increasingly be deprived of an effective remedy for unpleasant climacteric symptoms and osteoporosis.

TL;DR: Data suggest that, in contrast to a natural menopause, bilateral oophorectomy increases the risk of coronary heart disease, and this increase appears to be prevented by estrogen-replacement therapy.
