Impact of Educational Intervention on Anticoagulation Control Using SAMe-TT₂2R₂ Score-Guided Strategy in Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An educational-behavioral intervention has been shown to improve anticoagulation control with warfarin in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, but widespread application may not be practical. The SAMe-TT₂R₂ score was formulated to identify the likelihood of achieving optimal time in therapeutic range (TTR).

Objectives

The authors conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a SAMe-TT₂R₂ score-guided strategy for an educational-behavioral intervention, compared with usual care on patient's anticoagulation control.

Methods

Anticoagulant-naive adult AF patients were randomized to a SAMe-TT₂R₂ score-guided strategy or usual care. In the SAMe-TT₂R₂ score-gu
