Why the study?
The study investigated the effects of comorbidities on anticoagulation overdose in patients receiving vitamin K antagonist therapy.
Do comorbidities such as kidney failure or arthritis increase the risk of bleeding in patients with vitamin K antagonist overdose?
Do comorbidities such as kidney failure or arthritis increase the risk of bleeding in patients with vitamin K antagonist overdose?
In patients with vitamin K antagonist overdose, underlying kidney failure or arthritis significantly increases the risk of bleeding, particularly when INR exceeds 5.
Objectives: Research on effects of comorbidities disease on anticoagulation overdose in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists anticoagulant (VKAs) drugs at HaiPhong-VinhBao International General Hospital. Methods: Description and Prospective study. Research on 79 patients receiving anticoagulant therapy with VKAs who have an INR testing index of more than anticoagulation dose with VKAs and check INR every 4 weeks. Results: The average research age is 65.65 ± 12.17 years [33: 85], most of the elderly group. The Male group is lower than the female group (p > 0.05). Patients with hemorrhage signs account for 22.8%. The INR testing index has an average value is 5.88 ± 3.0 [3.02 - 23.95]; The group of INR > 5 level is a higher risk of bleeding than the group of INR ≤ 5 levels, there is statistical difference (p 5 levels has a higher risk of bleeding than the group with INR ≤ 5 levels, it’s the statistical significance (p 1 but p > 0.05); Patients used VKAs drugs on the background of kidney failure or arthritis pathology are the cause of the increased risk of bleeding, it’s statistical significance (p < 0.05).
