The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the Birmingham model in routine care. All patients from 12 primary care centres attending either practice-based or hospital-based anticoagulation clinics were retrospectively foll...
متن کاملLong-term self-management of anticoagulation therapy after mechanical heart valve replacement in outside trial conditions.
In this investigation, we hypothesize that quality of oral anticoagulation (OA) and long-term outcome after mechanical heart valve (MHV) replacement with self-management (Self-M) of OA is superior to conventional anticoagulation treatment (Conv-T), even in outside trial conditions. One hundred sixty patients (78.8% aortic valve replacements) were trained in international normalized ratio Self-M...
متن کاملCochrane corner: self-monitoring and self-management of oral anticoagulation.
BACKGROUND The introduction of point-of-care devices for the management of patients on oral anticoagulation allows self-testing by the patient at home. Patients who self-test can either adjust their medication according to a pre-determined dose-INR (international normalized ratio) schedule (self-management), or they can call a clinic to be told the appropriate dose adjustment (self-monitoring)....
متن کاملSelf-monitoring of oral anticoagulation therapy in children.
This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of home International Normalized Ratio (INR) self-monitoring in pediatric patients on long-term oral anticoagulation therapy. Statistical and clinical agreement of INR values from capillary whole blood samples measured by 2 different portable prothrombin time monitors (CoaguChek S and XS) and venous blood samples measured by a laboratory coagulation ...
