Why the study?
Does a minimization-of-error technique improve the accuracy of determining the APTT therapeutic range compared to linear regression in patients treated with unfractionated heparin?

A minimization-of-error technique slightly improves the accuracy of determining the APTT therapeutic range compared to linear regression, though an 8% error rate may still be too high for optimal clinical results.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Minimization-of-error lowers APTT range error to 8%; leaves open whether this improves heparin monitoring safety or warrants adoption.
Terry K. Rosborough (1997) studied this question.
