Self-monitoring and self-management of oral anticoagulation (Clinical) - Cochrane Journal Club

P L A I N  L A N G U A G E  S U M M A R Y

In conclusion, self-monitoring or self-management can improve the quality of oral anticoagulant therapy, leading to fewer thromboembolic
events and lower mortality, without a reduction in the number of major bleeds. Self-monitoring and self-management are not
feasible for all patients, which requires the identification and education of suitable patients.
