Summary

Despite the wide availability of Direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC), warfarin remains an important oral anticoagulant1 especially in patients with mechanical valve replacement or chronic renal failure where the evidence of DOAC is limited. However, the dosing of warfarin is challenging as it has a narrow therapeutic index and is highly influenced by dietary vitamin K intake and drugs that interacts with cytochrome (CYP) P4501. The time outside therapeutic range will carry the risk of adverse events such as thrombosis and bleeding. Numerous algorithms have been proposed that utilized either clinical or pharmacogenetics factors. The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) has recommended the use of 4 dosing algorithms. However, these algorithms require the input of genetic information such as CYP2C9 and VKORC1 type which are not widely available locally and are less relevant in maintenance phase. Furthermore, these algorithms target mainly at predicting the initiation and the maintenance dose of warfarin. This has provided us with the opportunities to explore the Prediction model for on-treatment warfarin dose titration for outside therapeutic range.

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Warfarin dosage adjustment model	Warfarin dosage adjustment model use to predict the initiation and the maintenance dose of warfarin. Variation of warfarin dose during stable maintenance phase for the same patient might be influenced more by temporal factors such as modification of drug regimens that utilize the CYP450 pathway, or dietary vitamin K intake
