Abstract
Our study identified that pre- or post- analytical errors explained a large proportion of inter-laboratory variation in INR. These errors can lead to serious clinical consequences if such data discrepancies are applied to patients, with incorrectly reported INRs potentially leading to altered warfarin therapy. Further education in the importance of the INR process appears warranted.
