Key result
Out-patient anticoagulation therapy resulted in 52.3% of INR measurements falling within the target therapeutic range, with a median of 52% per patient.
Population

Suboptimal outpatient INR control signals need for closer monitoring; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve therapeutic range in real-world anticoagulation.
Observational (n=2,050)
No
Anticoagulation control in outpatient settings shows significant room for improvement, with only about half of INR measurements falling within the target therapeutic range.
Utley et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Anticoagulation (n=2,050). Anticoagulation therapy was evaluated on Proportion of INR measurements within the target therapeutic range. Out-patient anticoagulation therapy resulted in 52.3% of INR measurements falling within the target therapeutic range, with a median of 52% per patient.
