Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alok Kapoor"
- Alok Kapoor's recent research primarily focuses on the trends and interventions related to anticoagulation therapy, particularly examining the usage patterns of anticoagulants in patients with acute pulmonary embolism and atrial fibrillation, amidst concerns of education gaps in patient management.
- Studies reveal that despite guideline recommendations for low-molecular-weight heparins and direct oral anticoagulants, traditional anticoagulant methods still persist in practice, raising questions about adherence to new therapeutic protocols.
- Additionally, Kapoor's investigations highlight the effectiveness of pharmacist-led interventions aimed at improving patient education and adherence to direct oral anticoagulants, with findings indicating that current strategies, such as checklists and messaging systems, may not significantly reduce medication errors or improve adherence in ambulatory settings.
