Warfarin requires strict monitoring, and factors such as patient knowledge and medication adherence can lead to poor PT/INR control.
Does patient knowledge and adherence to warfarin correlate with coagulation control (TTR)?

Adherence assessment may aid warfarin management; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before practice change.
Does patient knowledge and adherence to warfarin correlate with coagulation control (TTR)?
Higher patient knowledge and adherence to warfarin therapy are strongly correlated with improved time in therapeutic range (TTR).
