Abstract
Repeatedly missing INR tests is an easily identified clinical parameter that is associated with moderately increased risk for thromboembolism in patients taking chronic warfarin therapy. Clinicians should carefully consider the underlying thromboembolic risk and extent of nonadherence when weighing the benefits of continued warfarin therapy for a given patient.
