Patient self-management of anticoagulation may ease primary care burden; leaves open cost-effectiveness in unselected patients.
McCahon et al. (2003) conducted an RCT in Long-term oral anticoagulation therapy (n=660). Patient self-management (PSM) of oral anticoagulation vs. Standard care was evaluated on Therapeutic INR control in terms of percentage of time spent within therapeutic range. Patient self-management of oral anticoagulation will be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial to determine if it achieves equivalent therapeutic INR control compared to standard care.
