CONCLUSION: Results showed a continuing high level of renal function monitoring across the PHO in 90% of patients prescribed dabigatran. Practitioners were reminded to use creatinine clearance as a marker of renal function. Dabigatran was prescribed for an approved indication in 96% of patients. Our results are in line with recommended best practice and clinical guidelines. PMID: 29518798 [PubMed - in process]
