Warfarin genotyping reduces hospitalization rates results from the MM-WES (Medco-Mayo Warfarin Effectiveness study).
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine whether genotype testing for patients initiating warfarin treatment will reduce the incidence of hospitalizations, including those due to bleeding or thromboembolism. BACKGROUND Genotypic variations in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 have been shown to predict warfarin dosing, but no large-scale studies have prospectively evaluated the clinical effectiveness ...
متن کاملComparison of involuntary hospitalization rates
Background Civil commitment rates show substantial variation between different countries and over time. Legislation, professionals' ethics and attitudes, socio-demographic variation, and psychiatric services have been suggested as reasons for this. International variations in procedures and registration of coercion might affect reliability and validity of the data used, complicating internation...
متن کاملWarfarin genotyping in a single PCR reaction for microchip electrophoresis.
BACKGROUND Warfarin is the most commonly prescribed oral anticoagulant medication but also is the second leading cause of emergency room visits for adverse drug reactions. Genetic testing for warfarin sensitivity may reduce hospitalization rates, but prospective genotyping is impeded in part by the turnaround time and costs of genotyping. Microfluidics-based assays can reduce reagent consumptio...
متن کاملHospitalization rates among economic immigrants to Canada.
BACKGROUND Economic immigrants generally, and economic class principal applicants (ECPAs) specifically, tend to have better health than other immigrants. However, health outcomes vary among subcategories within this group, especially by sex. DATA AND METHODS This study examines hospitalization rates among ECPAs aged 25 to 74 who arrived in Canada between 1980 and 2006 as skilled workers, busi...
متن کاملInferring genotyping error rates from genotyped trios
Genotyping errors are known to influence the power of both family-based and case-control studies in the genetics of complex disease. Estimating genotyping error rate in a given dataset can be complex, but when family information is available error rates can be inferred from the patterns of Mendelian inheritance between parents and offspring. I introduce a novel likelihood-based method for calcu...
