Does warfarin therapy increase the incidence of hemorrhage or result in poorer anticoagulant control in an elderly population with atrial fibrillation?

Population

Elderly population with atrial fibrillation attending an anticoagulant clinic

Intervention

Warfarin therapy

Outcome

Anticoagulant control and incidence of hemorrhagesafety

Warfarin therapy appears safe and effective for anticoagulant control in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation when managed in a dedicated anticoagulant clinic.

Limitations

Possible selection bias at the level of referral to the clinic
