Abstract 126: The Association Between Medication Aherence and Time in Therapeutic Range (TTR) Among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated With Warfarin: Lessons From the Parkland Health and Hospital System Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: TTR to Warfarin in this underserved population is suboptimal. Given that adherence to Warfarin is independently associated with poor TTR, in the absence of strong adherence interventions, a policy of universal NOAC adoption is unlikely to significantly improve outcomes. If patients are transitioned to NOACs, this data implies that a targeted adherence intervention will be necessary to ensure that the medication is effective in reducing the risk of stroke.

Who Must We Target Now to Minimize Future Cardiovascular Events and Total Mortality?: Lessons From the Surveillance, Prevention and Management of Diabetes Mellitus (SUPREME-DM) Cohort Study Original Articles
Conclusions— To sustain improvements in myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and mortality, health systems that have successfully focused on care improvement in high-risk adults with DM or CVD must broaden their improvement strategies to target lower risk adults who have not yet developed DM or CVD.
