摘要

背景:华法林被美国食品和药物管理局批准用于许多临床适应症。华法林的有效性高度依赖于基于国际标准化比率(INR)目标的治疗时间范围,这可能会因饮食、酒精摄入量、伴随药物和旅行的变化而改变,所有这些都是在假期中普遍存在的。目前,还没有发表的研究评估假期对华法林使用者INR的影响。方法:对所有在多学科门诊接受华法林治疗的成年患者进行回顾性分析。如果患者在家中服用华法林而不考虑抗凝指征,则纳入其中。对假期前后的印度卢比进行了评估。结果:92例患者的平均年龄为71.5±14.3岁,大多数患者使用华法林治疗,INR目标为2 - 3(89%)。独立日(2.55 vs. 2.81, P = 0.043)和哥伦布日(2.39 vs. 2.82, P < 0.001)前后INR差异有统计学意义。其余假期在每个假期前后的INR没有显着差异。结论:可能与独立纪念日和哥伦布纪念日有关的因素提高了华法林使用者的抗凝水平。虽然节后平均INR值基本上保持在2 - 3的典型目标范围内,但我们的研究强调了在高风险患者中有必要进行专门护理,以防止INR持续增加和随后的毒性。我们希望我们的结果能够产生假设,并有助于开展更大规模的前瞻性评估,以验证我们目前的研究结果。

Potential Association of Holidays on Internationalized Normalized Ratio in Warfarin-Users at a Multidisciplinary Clinic.

Potential Association of Holidays on Internationalized Normalized Ratio in Warfarin-Users at a Multidisciplinary Clinic.

Background: Warfarin is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for numerous clinical indications. The effectiveness of warfarin is highly dependent on the time-in-therapeutic range based on the international normalized ratio (INR) goal, which may be altered by changes in diet, alcohol intake, concomitant drugs, and travel, all of which are prevalent during the holidays. At this time, there are no published studies assessing the impact of holidays on INR in warfarin-users.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on all adult patients taking warfarin and managed at a multidisciplinary clinic. Patients were included if they were taking warfarin at home regardless of indication for anticoagulation. The INR pre- and post-holiday was assessed.

Results: Of a total of 92 patients, the mean age was 71.5 ± 14.3 years, and most patients were on warfarin with an INR goal of 2 - 3 (89%). There were significant differences in INR before and after Independence Day (2.55 vs. 2.81, P = 0.043) and Columbus Day (2.39 vs. 2.82, P < 0.001). The remaining holidays showed no significant differences in INR before and after each respective holiday.

Conclusions: There may be factors related to Independence and Columbus Day that are increasing the level of anticoagulation in warfarin-users. Although the mean post-holiday INR values, in essence, maintained within the typical target of 2 - 3, our study underscores the specialized care that is warranted in higher risk patients to prevent a continued increase in INR and subsequent toxicities. We hope our results would be hypothesis-generating and aid in the development of larger, prospective evaluations to validate the findings of our present study.
