Prompt repeat testing after out-of-range INR values: a quality indicator for anticoagulation care.
BACKGROUND Improved control of oral anticoagulation reduces adverse events. A program of quality measurement is needed for oral anticoagulation. The interval until the next test after an out-of-range International Normalized Ratio (INR) value (the "follow-up interval") could serve as a process of care measure. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 104 451 patients cared for by 100 anticoagulation cl...
متن کاملComparison of prothrombin time (INR) results and main characteristics of patients on warfarin treatment in primary health care centers and anticoagulation clinics
BACKGROUND Oral anticoagulant therapy is used to prevent thrombosis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), venous thrombosis and prosthetic heart valves. The introduction of new therapies emphasizes the need to discern the best practice for the patients remaining on warfarin treatment. This study compares patient characteristics and therapeutic control in two settings managing warfarin trea...
متن کاملINR targets and site-level anticoagulation control: results from the Veterans AffaiRs Study to Improve Anticoagulation (VARIA).
BACKGROUND Not all clinicians target the same International Normalized Ratio (INR) for patients with a guideline-recommended target range of 2-3. A patient's mean INR value suggests the INR that was actually targeted. We hypothesized that sites would vary by mean INR, and that sites of care with mean values nearest to 2.5 would achieve better anticoagulation control, as measured by per cent tim...
متن کاملPoint-of-care INR coagulometers for self-management of oral anticoagulation: primary care diagnostic technology update.
British Journal of General Practice, November 2012 e798 ADVANTAGES OVER EXISTING TECHNOLOGY Devices to measure international normalised ratio (INR) are intended for both professional use and patient self-testing to monitor oral anticoagulant therapy. INR is a standardised measurement of the prothrombin time, which is the time it takes blood to clot after addition of tissue factor. Point-of-care...
