EvidenceUpdates-Cochrane Collaboration review/commentaries: Self-monitoring and self-management of oral anticoagulation (Warfarin)
Note - warfarinCONCLUSIONS:
Compared to standard monitoring, patients who self-monitor or self-manage can improve the quality of their oral anticoagulation therapy. The number of thromboembolic events and mortality were decreased without increases in harms. However, self-monitoring or self-management were not feasible for up to half of the patients requiring anticoagulant therapy. Reasons included patient refusal, exclusion by their general practitioner, and inability to complete training.
