Time to Stable Therapeutic Range on Initiation of Warfarin as an Indicator of Control.

Objectives: Warfarin remains widely used with a time in therapeutic range (TiTR) above 65% recommended for best outcomes. Patients not achieving or maintaining this warfarin control may be better suited to alternate anticoagulants. Despite this, there is limited data defining a suitable trial time in patients initiating warfarin therapy, therefore the aim of this study was to determine the mean time to stable therapeutic range (TtSTR).
