Audio narration · Coming soon

A Norwegian study of 2,071 patients found that those who drank 1 to 2 cups of coffee daily before their first venous thromboembolism had a 51% lower estimated risk of recurrence compared to non-drinkers. The association was particularly strong among patients with provoked initial blood clots, though the study could not confirm a causal relationship.
