    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Clinical Pathology

    Background:

    • Oral anticoagulant therapy is essential for managing and preventing thrombo-embolic events.
    • Accurate laboratory monitoring is required for safe and effective anticoagulant dosing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish an international system for standardizing laboratory control of oral anticoagulant therapy.
    • To introduce a standardized thromboplastin preparation for global use.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and implementation of a standardized tissue extract of thromboplastin, known as the British Comparative Thromboplastin.
    • Distribution and utilization of this standardized preparation in clinical laboratories.

    Main Results:

    • The British Comparative Thromboplastin system is currently employed in laboratories across seventy countries.
    • It includes a representative selection of Italian hospitals, indicating widespread adoption.

    Conclusions:

    • The described system, utilizing a standardized thromboplastin preparation, is recommended as the international reference preparation.
    • This standardization facilitates consistent and reliable laboratory monitoring for oral anticoagulant treatment globally.
