Risk factors of vitamin K antagonist overcoagulation.
OBJECTIVES The aims of this prospective study were to identify, in vitamin K antagonist (VKA)-treated patients, factors associated with INR values: (i) greater than 6.0. and (ii) ranging from 4.0 to 6.0 complicated with bleeding. We also assessed VKA-related morbidity in these patients. METHODS During a 6-month period, 3090 consecutive patients were referred to our Department of Internal Medi...
متن کاملPoint-of-Care Testing of Coagulation in Patients Treated With Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Specific coagulation assays for non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) are relatively slow and often lack availability. Although specific point-of-care tests (POCT) are currently not available, NOAC are known to affect established coagulation POCT. This study aimed at determining the diagnostic accuracy of the CoaguChek POCT to rule out relevant concentration...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis of dabigatran and anticoagulation monitoring strategies of vitamin K antagonist
BACKGROUND Vitamin K antagonists are commonly used for the prevention of thromboembolic events. Patient self-monitoring of vitamin K antagonists has proved superior to usual care. Dabigatran has been shown, relative to warfarin, to reduce thromboembolic events without increasing bleeding. METHODS We constructed a Markov model to compare vitamin K self-monitoring strategies to dabigatran inclu...

Millions of US patients are prescribed oral anticoagulants. Traditionally, oral anticoagulation was achieved with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). In recent years, non-VKA oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have emerged that provide an effective and convenient alternative to VKAs. These agents possess very different pharmacologic properties from what the medical community has grown accustom to with the V...
