Determinants of warfarin use and international normalized ratio levels in atrial fibrillation patients in Japan.  

Science.gov (United States)

Background: Determinants of warfarin use and anticoagulation levels in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients have not been clarified thoroughly. Methods and Results: A total of 6,324 patients with non-valvular AF and congestive heart failure, hypertension, age, diabetes, prior stroke (CHADS(2)) score ?1 were used to investigate determinants of warfarin use, and 6,932 patients with AF receiving warfarin were used to investigate determinants of international normalized ratio (INR) of prothrombin time. Target INR levels for non-valvular AF patients were 1.6-2.6 for patients aged ?70 years and 2-3 for patients aged transient ischemic attack (TIA), and had higher CHADS(2) scores than those not receiving warfarin. Determinants of warfarin use were age (?60 years), AF type (persistent and permanent), and comorbidities (congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, and prior stroke or TIA). Use ...

Sub-Tenons anesthesia with aspirin, warfarin, and clopidogrel  

British Library Electronic Table of Contents (United Kingdom)

PurposeTo review the frequency of hemorrhagic complications with sub-Tenons anesthesia in patients on aspirin, warfarin or clopidogrel.SettingSt. Jamess University Hospital, Leeds, United Kingdom.MethodsData were collected prospectively for patients having elective phacoemulsification under sub-Tenons anesthesia. Seventy-five patients were on aspirin, 65 were on warfarin, and 40 were on clopidogrel. Seventy-five patients on no anticoagulants were used as the control group. No changes in the anticoagulant regimen were made prior to surgery.ResultsNo sight-threatening hemorrhagic complications were noted, and no surgery was postponed or cancelled due to an anesthesic complication. Subconjunctival hemorrhage occurred in 19% in the control group, 40% in the clopidogrel group, 35% in the warfar...
