Structured PICO

Does patient self-management of oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists improve clinical outcomes in everyday practice?

Population

Properly trained patients receiving oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists in a single-center cohort

Intervention

Patient self-management (PSM) of oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists

Outcome

Incidence of major complications and mortalityhard clinical
