    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Medical Statistics

    Background:

    • Warfarin is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant.
    • Accurate warfarin dosing is crucial for therapeutic efficacy and safety.
    • Predicting maintenance dosage can improve patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a predictive tool for warfarin maintenance dosage.
    • To correlate initial prothrombin ratio response with maintenance dosage requirements.

    Main Methods:

    • Correlation analysis was performed between initial prothrombin ratio response and warfarin maintenance dosage.
    • A predictive table was devised based on the established correlation.
    • Data from 63 patients were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • A significant correlation was found between initial prothrombin ratio response and warfarin maintenance dosage.
    • The devised table enables prediction of maintenance dosage.
    • The findings provide a basis for individualized warfarin therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed table is a valuable tool for predicting warfarin maintenance dosage.
    • This predictive method can enhance the efficiency and safety of anticoagulant therapy.
    • Further validation in larger patient cohorts is warranted.
