A121 effects other than bleeding and thrombosis (38.5% vs. 16.7%, p= 0.004). Patients on TSOAC had a lower [better] mean QoL summary score compared to warfarin treated patients (39.2±11.3 vs. 46.8±19.8, p= 0.01). Based on the results of the unadjusted linear regression model, patients treated with TSOAC had significantly better DASS QoL summary score (β = -7.65, 95% CI: -13.49, -1.82, p < 0.05); however, after adjusting for differences in patient groups, the effect of TSOAC on QoL became non-significant (β = 4.47, 95% CI: -5.06, 14.00, p= 0.35) ConClusions: Differences in social-demographic characteristics between patients treated with warfarin and TSOAC were observed in an inner-city population. After adjusting for patient social-demographic characteristics, TSOAC had no impact on treatment-related QoL.
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.
