OUTCOMES OF PATIENT SELF-TESTING FOR WARFARIN THERAPY: KEY FINDINGS FROM RETROSPECTIVE STUDIES (SPONSORED BY ACELIS CONNECTED HEALTH)
Salon 1-4

Session will highlight findings from two retrospective studies on patient self-testing for warfarin therapy. The first study looked at virtual versus in-person education for PST for warfarin therapy, showing that virtual education is effective and should continue to be an option. The second study was a retrospective claims-based analysis looking at clinical outcomes of home INR testing (patient self-testing or PST). The study showed lower rates of adverse events including deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding, and stroke as well as fewer emergency department visits among self-testing patients versus those who had office/lab-based monitoring.
