BACKGROUND: Opinions regarding the association between gallbladder disease and oral contraceptive (OCs) differ. The objective of this article is to quantify cholecystectomy rate among women initiating OCs. STUDY DESIGN: Women under the age of 25 years were enrolled at four sites in a randomized trial evaluating initiation of OCs. Hospitalizations while enrolled were elicited during follow-up interviews, and medical records of women who underwent cholecystectomy were reviewed. RESULTS: Of 757 women enrolled at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW), 8 underwent cholecystectomy, a rate of 25.3/1000 woman-years (95% CI=8.1, 42.5). All eight were Mexican American and postpartum when they initiated OCs. The expected rate is 4.2/1000 woman-years for U.S. women aged 15-44. CONCLUSIONS: Women enrolled at the UTSW site had an increased rate of cholecystectomy and were more likely to be postpartum and Mexican American than women enrolled at the other sites.
