This study evaluated the impact of a pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinic (AC) on the clinical and economic outcomes of patient newly treated with warfarin therapy. A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients initiating warfarin therapy between November 1997 and April 1998. Patients were maintained on warfarin therapy for a minimum of two months. Patients were followed for either one-year post-initiation of warfarin usage or until discontinuation of warfarin therapy, whichever occurred earlier.

520 $a This study evaluated the impact of a pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinic (AC) on the clinical and economic outcomes of patient newly treated with warfarin therapy. A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients initiating warfarin therapy between November 1997 and April 1998. Patients were maintained on warfarin therapy for a minimum of two months. Patients were followed for either one-year post-initiation of warfarin usage or until discontinuation of warfarin therapy, whichever occurred earlier.
520 $a Data were analyzed for 65 AC and 99 usual care (UC) patients. Anticoagulation clinic patients had a greater proportion of international normalized ratio (INR) values that were within therapeutic range than UC patients (61.3% and 56.9% of INR values, respectively) and a greater number of days with INR values in therapeutic range than UC patients (56.2% of days for AC patients and 48.8% of days for UC patients). The incidence rates of warfarin-related events were similar in both groups. Total charges for all health care services during the follow-up period were 50 percent greater for UC patients than for AC patients ( $2 ,012.97 and $9 52.65 per UC and AC patient-month, respectively; p<0.05). Despite a higher mean number of days hospitalized per patient-month for AC patients for warfarin-related events, charges for warfarin-related inpatient admissions were lower for AC patients than UC patients ( $2 39 per patient-month for the AC group and $3 70 per patient-month for the UC group). Charges for non-warfarin-related inpatient admissions and the mean incidence rates for non-warfarin-related hospitalizations and outpatient visits were also less for AC patients than UC patients. Usual care patients were more than twice as likely as AC patients to be prescribed a medication that could potentially interact with warfarin therapy. The rates of adherence to warfarin therapy, as measured by the medication possession ratio, were similar for both groups.
520 $a Anticoagulation clinic patients experienced better anticoagulation control, incurred fewer overall charges for warfarin-related and non-warfarin-related health care services, and were less likely to experience drug interactions with warfarin therapy than UC patients.
