Efficacy of a joint didactic intervention using the Junta De Andaluc ía School for Patients method to control prothrombin time in patients taking anticoagulants: protocol for a randomized controlled trial
AbstractBackgroundOral anticoagulant drugs represent an essential tool in the prevention of thromboembolic events. The ones in widespread use are vitamin K antagonists, whose plasma level is monitored by measuring prothrombin time using the international normalized ratio. If its values are out of the recommended range, the patient will have a higher risk of suffering from thromboembolic or hemorrhagic complications. Previous research has shown that approximately 33% of patients keep having values at an inappropriate level. The purpose of the proposed study is to improve the international normalized ratio control results by...
