Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Time in therapeutic range (TTR) for warfarin.
Time Frame: Baseline
TTR status will be calculated using the most recent INR value and patient records to determine whether INR is within the target therapeutic range (2.0-3.5) at the time of data collection.
2. Correlation Between TTR and Patient-Specific Factors
Time Frame: Baseline
Assesses the relationship between INR control and factors such as age, comorbidities, adherence, vitamin K intake, and medication use based on data collected at the single study visit.
Secondary Outcomes
- 1. Number of Participants With Reported Bleeding Events (Major or Minor)(Baseline)
- Number of Participants With Thromboembolic Events(Baseline)
- Rate of Patient Adherence to Warfarin Therapy(Baseline)
