Time in Therapeutic Range Using a Nomogram for Dose Adjustment of Warfarin in Patients on Hemodialysis With Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients treated with hemodialysis and prescribed warfarin typically have lower time in therapeutic range (TTR) compared to the general population. This may result in less benefit or increased risk of over anticoagulation in these patients.

Objective

To assess effectiveness of use of an electronic nomogram for the management of warfarin therapy in patients treated with hemodialysis.

Design

Retrospective chart review.

Setting

Adult patients treated with hemodialysis.

Patients

Patients on hemodialysis receiving warfarin for the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) with therapy managed by nursing led electronic nomogram.

Measurements

Time in therapeutic range (as fraction and Rosendaal).

Methods

Retrospective chart review over 1 y
