Anticoagulation Quality Assessment in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF) and Comparison with Major Trials of Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulants

Abstract

Purpose: The benefits of warfarin anticoagulation therapy are strongly correlated with the ability to maintain patients' INR goal, known as the time in therapeutic range (TTR). TTR is reported as a percentage and there are three commonly used calculation methods (traditional, cross sectional, and Rosendaal). Differences in TTR calculations could alter perceptions about the effectiveness of warfarin therapy.
