About this study

Official title: Warfarin Dosage Adjustment for Outside Therapeutic Range: a Linear Regression Model Analysis

Despite the wide availability of Direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC), warfarin remains an important oral anticoagulant1 especially in patients with mechanical valve replacement or chronic renal failure where the evidence of DOAC is limited. However, the dosing of warfarin is challenging as it has a narrow therapeutic index and is highly influenced by dietary vitamin K intake and drugs that interacts with cytochrome (CYP) P4501. The time outside therapeutic range will carry the risk of adverse events such as thrombosis and bleeding. Numerous algorithms have been proposed that utilized either clinical or pharmacogenetics factors. The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) has recommended the use of 4 dosing algorithms. However, these algorithms require the input of genetic information such as CYP2C9 and VKORC1 type which are not widely available locally and are less relevant in maintenance phase. Furthermore, these algorithms target mainly at predicting the initiation and the maintenance dose of warfarin. This has provided us with the opportunities to explore the Prediction model for on-treatment warfarin dose titration for outside therapeutic range.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Warfarin dosage adjustment modelBehavioural

    Warfarin dosage adjustment model use to predict the initiation and the maintenance dose of warfarin. Variation of warfarin dose during stable maintenance phase for the same patient might be influenced more by temporal factors such as modification of drug regimens that utilize the CYP450 pathway, or dietary vitamin K intake

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. extreme outside therapeutic range

    INR<1.5 or INR>3.5 on two consecutive blood checking

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the time needed to achieve within therapeutic range

    It is calculated by the time interval from the outside therapeutic range INR to final within therapeutic range INR, the number of INRs checking between the initial outside therapeutic range and the final within therapeutic range

    Measured: 1 year
