PCV133 Baseline Characteristics, Intervention Modalities and Utilization of Evidence Based Medications Among ACS Patients: Does Presence of Diabetes Affect the Presentation as Well as Management Scenario for ACS? – Results from Single Centric Cross-Sectional Study from India

Abstract

initiation and 65% thereafter for AF and 53% and 59% respectively for VTE. There was a positive relationship between number of visits during initiation and the number of subsequent visits (correlation coefficient (r)ϭ0.29) and a negative relationship between number of visits and TTR during both initiation (rϭ-0.3) and maintenance (rϭ-0.35). CONCLUSIONS: Increasing number of anticoagulation visits was associated with reduced time in range suggesting that despite increased monitoring some patients fail to stay in range. In addition, patients who require frequent visits during the initiation phase continue to do so during maintenance, suggesting that this may be a useful predictor for patients who are likely to be poorly controlled despite high resource use in the longer term and may hence be candidates for alternative means of anticoagulation.
