Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Randomized - Genetic
Subjects who are randomized to 90 days of follow-up and whose warfarin dose was determined using the genetic information from the GenoSTAT test and clinical information through the warfarindosing.org website
|
Device: Warfarin GenoSTAT Test
Use of genetic information from the GenoSTAT test to determine the warfarin dose
Other Names:

No Intervention: Randomized - Clinical
Subjects who are randomized to 90 days of follow-up and whose warfarin dose was determined using the genetic information from clinical information alone through the warfarindosing.org website

|
Experimental: Registry
Subjects who are followed 30 days of follow-up and whose warfarin dose was determined using the genetic information from the GenoSTAT test and clinical information through the warfarindosing.org website

Device: Warfarin GenoSTAT Test
Use of genetic information from the GenoSTAT test to determine the warfarin dose
Other Names:

- Incidence of warfarin related clinical events [ Time Frame: 30 days ]To determine if using warfarin-related pharmacogenetic information in calculating warfarin doses will change the incidence of warfarin-related clinical events, including major hemorrhage and thromboembolic events, at 30 days after initial dose, when compared to warfarin doses calculated without pharmacogenetic data.
- INR Tests [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Comparison of the number of INR tests performed before warfarin dose stabilization (i.e. two consecutive INR tests within the target range)
- Warfarin Doses [ Time Frame: 90 days ]Comparison of the cumulative warfarin dose necessary to reach warfarin dose stabilization (i.e. two consecutive INR tests within the target range)
- Hemorrhagic Events [ Time Frame: 90 days ]The number of major hemorrhagic adverse events at 60 and at 90 days separately after warfarin initiation
- Minor hemorrhagic events [ Time Frame: 90 days ]The number of minor hemorrhagic adverse events at 30, 60 and at 90 days separately after warfarin initiation
- Major thromboembolic events [ Time Frame: 90 days ]The number of major thromboembolic adverse events at 60 and at 90 days separately after warfarin initiation for
- INR tests [ Time Frame: 30 days ]The percentage of the total INR tests performed in the first 30 days which are out of target range
- SF-12 [ Time Frame: 90 days ]The overall, Physical Composite Score (PCS) and Mental Composite Score (MCS) of the SF-12 quality of life questionnaire at 30 days and at 90 days separately after warfarin initiation
- Prescriber adherence [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Prescriber adherence to dosing recommendations through subject interview and comparison of dose recommendation to dose prescribed for the first four doses of warfarin
