Predictors of warfarin-associated adverse events in hospitalized patients: opportunities to prevent patient harm.

Metersky M, Eldridge N, Wang Y, et al. J Hosp Med. 2016;11(4):276-82.

Anticoagulation medications are often associated with adverse drug events. This study found that less-than-daily monitoring of anticoagulation in hospitalized patients is associated with more frequent out-of-range values, suggesting that daily monitoring is safer.
