e-Health-based management of patients receiving oral anticoagulation therapy: results from the observational thrombEVAL study

Essentials e-Health based health care by an expert centre may advance management of oral anticoagulation. Outcome of patients was compared between an e-health based coagulation service and regular care. Patients in the coagulation service cohort experienced a significantly better clinical outcome. Lower risk for adverse events was related to anticoagulation-specific and non-specific outcome.

Cuba and Italy: a comparative study on the determinants of health in a context of limited resources
