Technology-Based Interventions in Oral Anticoagulation Management: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increasing number of patients have received prophylactic or therapeutic oral anticoagulants (OACs) for thromboembolic complications of diseases. The use of OACs is associated with both clinical benefits and risks. Considering the challenges imposed by this class of drugs, as well as the enormous progress made in portable device technology, it is possible that technology-based interventions may improve clinical benefits for patients and optimize anticoagulation management.

Objective

This study was designed to comprehensively evaluate the role of technology-based interventions in the management of OACs.
