Abstract

Purpose of the work. Analysis of different approaches to organize INR monitoring of patients with high risk of venous thromboembolism recurrence.

Materials and methods. One group of patients (84 people) were observed by physicians in hospital in the district clinics; the second group of patients (132) were observed specialists in the system of distant monitoring of INR. Term follow-up was 2 years. We evaluated time of patient’s staying in therapeutic range of INR, the frequency of recurrence of deep vein thrombosis, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications.

Results. Аverage time of patient’s staying in therapeutic range of INR for patients of the first group was 34.5%, in the second group 71.2%. In the first group of patients there were significantly more episodes of recurrence of thrombosis – 5 (5.95%) vs. 1 (0.76%) in the second group. There were significantly more minor bleedings in the first group of patients – 11 (13.09%) compared to 6 (4.54%).

Conclusion. Тhe system of distant monitoring of INR is an effective method of organization of secondary prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients. It allows to significantly increase the effectiveness and safety of treatment of vitamin K antagonists, regardless of the remoteness of the patient from the medical institution.

Keywords: system of distant monitoring, vitamin K antagonist, deep vein thrombosis, PE, prevention of recurrent thrombosis, warfarin.
