Background: The SAMe-TT2 R2 Score was developed to identify vitamin K antagonists control outliers before non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) patients start treatment. SAMe-TT2 R2 Score was derived and validated using a primarily white Caucasian population to predict TTR. Given that non-Caucasian race already confers 2 points in this score, the SAMe-TT2 R2 score requires validation and/or re-calibration despite race of population. Method: We conducted a cohort retrospective study that included all non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients who were on warfarin therapy from January to December 2019. Then we calculated the modified SAMe-TT2 R2 and SAMe-TT2 R2 for all study populations and we correlated the result with patients' TTR. The TTR was calculated through the Rosendaal's method. Results: We had 662 patient using warfarin therapy, among those 662, 60.9% were under cardiology and using it for cardiac indication, and only 18.1% diagnosed to have non-valvular AF. Modified SAMe-TT2 R2 score has good relation to original SAMe-TT2 R2 score as showed 75.71% (95% CI. 63.99 to 85.17%), 100% (95% CI. 92.89 to 100%) and 15% (95% CI. 3.21 to 77.95%); accuracy, sensitivity and specificity in relation to SAMe-TT2 R2 respectively. In addition to that in this small cohort we found that there is universal relationship between SAMe-TT2 R2 score, Modified SAMe-TT2 R2 score and TTR; TTR >=65% associate with low score (<2) of both SAMe-TT2 R2 , Modified SAMe-TT2 R2 score. Conclusion: The use of Modified SAMe-TT2 R2 score allows clinicians to make an informed decision on whether to start vitamin K antagonist or other non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant despite the race of the patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
