Telemedicine-based medical care compared to in-person medical care for warfarin follow-up: A retrospective propensity score matching cohort study
CONCLUSION: The study results showed that patients on oral anticoagulation therapy managed through a telemedicine method had a lower overall TTR percentage than a matched group of patients managed through in-person anticoagulant clinic visits, thus demonstrating that using a telemedicine approach alone for warfarin follow-up may not help patients to maintain their INR target level.PMID:38070197 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxad311 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)
