Introduction: Vitamin k antagonists are the most commonly prescribed anticoagulation among non-valvular atrial_x000D__x000D_
fibrillation patients. It is indicated for stroke prevention in this group of patients. The aim of this study is to assess_x000D__x000D_
patient compliance among NVAF warfarin users._x000D__x000D_
Method: The study designed as prospective study, conducted in the medical department in Indonesian and Shifa_x000D__x000D_
hospital- Palestine. We included patients undergoing oral anticoagulation with VKA diagnosed with NVAF with_x000D__x000D_
diabetes, cardiovascular disease aged between 20-85 years old, otherwise were excluded. The laboratory data include_x000D__x000D_
the INR, creatinine clearance, random blood sugar, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, liver chemistry extracted_x000D__x000D_
from patient file._x000D__x000D_
Analysis: Continuous data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation, and the categoric variables were_x000D__x000D_
presented as percentage. To find the relationship between quantitative variables we used binary univariate analysis_x000D__x000D_
statistically significant results were considered at a two-tailed p-value <0.05. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20_x000D__x000D_ software._x000D__x000D_ Finding: The total number was 100 patients, 50% males and the remain females. The results show that 43% of the_x000D__x000D_ patients know the risk of the drug while 39% know about the benefit. Only 58% of patients are within the_x000D__x000D_ therapeutic INR and 66% do not follow regular INR monitoring. There was 28% of patients are not in contact with_x000D__x000D_ any health care providers for drug monitoring. The results also show that 21% of patients do not follow their daily_x000D__x000D_ dose and 36% complain of hemorrhage. The results clarify that there exists a positive relationship between a_x000D__x000D_ creatinine, diastolic Bp, systolic Bp and INR Since p-value <0.05._x000D__x000D_ Interpretation: The finding of this study shows that most of our patients' unaware warfarin, so we recommend_x000D__x000D_ construction of warfarin clinic for this group of patients for regular follow up with education program with qualified_x000D__x000D_ health care provider. توثيق المرجعي (APA)
