Anticoagulation clinic versus a traditional warfarin management model

Abstract: Warfarin is the most commonly prescribed oral anticoagulant. The management of warfarin is challenging, and current guidelines fail to include a model to assist practitioners in optimizing therapeutic dosing. The traditional model and the anticoagulation clinic (AC) model of warfarin management were compared and results found the AC model optimum.

“…[75] Dedicated anticoagulation clinics (ACCs) using standardized approaches may achieve better anticoagulation control than routine models of care, where anticoagulation patients are seen as part of the general patient mix. [76][77][78][79][80][81] Such ACCs are however not common in SSA; anticoagulation is often managed in outpatient cardiology, cardio-thoracic surgery, and haemato-oncology clinics [20,32,82] or by individual health care workers who may not use standardized approaches. [27,83] Prescribers of anticoagulation are often junior with limited practice experience.…”

“…La determinación del tiempo dentro de un rango terapéutico (time in therapeutic range, TTR), calculado como un porcentaje de visitas o un porcentaje de tiempo, en el cual el INR del paciente se ha encontrado dentro de su objetivo terapéutico, es la forma más reconocida para medir la efectividad terapéutica de la warfarina en un tiempo determinado, y se ha demostrado que se correlaciona con los resultados clínicos (9). Los resultados del ensayo ACTIVE W sugieren que lograr menos del 65 % de TTR con warfarina no es más beneficioso para el paciente que tomar una aspirina para el control de la coagulación (10). El objetivo de lograr más del 70 % de TTR todavía representa un desafío.…”

“…La interacción cara a cara dada en la clínica de anticoagulación permite la educación continua del paciente sobre la terapia de anticoagulación y ofrece la mejor oportunidad para el manejo óptimo de la dosificación de warfarina (10). Las clínicas de anticoagulación que utilizan dispositivos medidores de INR y algoritmos de dosificación están en capacidad de desarrollar un enfoque racionalizado del manejo de cuidado al paciente, mientras que el modelo de cuidado tradicional consume una buena cantidad de tiempo, tanto para el paciente como para el médico (10).…”
