Clinical outcome assessments (COAs) are an integral part of clinical trials. A fit-for-purpose COA with well-selected endpoints can help determine the efficacy of a therapeutic intervention in the condition studied. The selection of the appropriate outcome measures depends not only on the condition but also on the disease stage and type of intervention studied.

Warfarin is a commonly employed anticoagulant drug aimed at rapidly reaching the optimal international normalized ratio (INR), potentially reducing the hospitalization time in clinical settings. However, limited research has been conducted on the influencing factors and the safety implications of promptly reaching the target INR range in patients with valvular heart disease who have undergone valve replacement or repair. The present study aimed to assess the factors related to the safety considerations of rapidly reaching the target INR range in patients treated with warfarin.

Background: Physical exercise is crucial in type 2 diabetes management (T2D), and training in the aquatic environment seems to be a promising alternative due to its physical properties and metabolic, functional, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular benefits. Research on combined training in aquatic and dry-land training environments is scarce, especially in long-term interventions. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of combined training in both environments on health outcomes related to the management of T2D patients.
