入选标准

  • > 18 years old, receiving ongoing warfarin therapy, undergoing elective surgery, able to provide written, informed consent, and followed-up by Hospital-at-Home services for INR monitoring

排除标准

  • Unable to provide written, informed consent
  • Not followed-up by Hospital-at-Home until a stable therapeutic INR is achieved
  • Undergoing cardiac surgery (note – patients with pre-existing artificial mitral or aortic valves are eligible as long as the surgery is not cardiac)
  • Surgery expected to grossly prevent normal oral intake in the week post-operatively eg colon resection
  • Use of more than 2 mg of vitamin K, fresh frozen plasma, or Prothrombinex-VT for INR reversal immediately pre-operatively
  • Use of any vitamin K, fresh frozen plasma, or Prothrombinex for INR reversal in the week after surgery, prior to a stable therapeutic INR being achieved. Normal blood transfusions are permissible and will be considered as a sub-group.
  • Commencement of regular therapy with drugs known to interact with warfarin in the period between the most recently measured maintenance INR and the commencement of surgery, excluding routine drugs administered immediately prior to surgery, such as antibiotic prophylaxis. This includes, imidazole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, amiodarone, omeprazole, metronidazole, cholestyramine, carbamazepine, phenytoin, barbiturates, rifampicin, sulfamethoxizole/trimpethoprim, SSRI’s, thyroxine, NSAIDs.
  • Lack of reliable INR results with corresponding maintenance dose
  • Most recent routine maintenance dose INR below 1.5 or above 3.5 for patients with a therapeutic range of 2-3, or above 4.0 for patients with a therapeutic range of 2.5-3.5
  • Warfarin reversed during warfarin re-commencement period due to unexpected return to theatre
