Enhancing Digital Health Interventions for Medication Adherence: Considerations for Broader Applicability and Long-Term Impact

Enhancing Digital Health Interventions for Medication Adherence: Considerations for Broader Applicability and Long-Term Impact

Additionally, the exclusive focus on edoxaban limits the generalizability of the findings to patients using other anticoagulants with differing dosing regimens and side effects. Broadening the intervention to encompass a more diverse patient population and various anticoagulants would strengthen the external validity and clinical relevance of the study. Second, the 6-month follow-up period is another critical consideration, as adherence is a dynamic behavior that often fluctuates over time.

Smartphone App for Improving Self-Awareness of Adherence to Edoxaban Treatment in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (ADHERE-App Trial): Randomized Controlled Trial

Stroke prevention with oral anticoagulants is essential in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) [1,2]. Previous large randomized controlled trials for AF have shown improved safety and comparable efficacy of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) compared with warfarin [3]. Thus, current guidelines prefer NOACs over warfarin for ischemic stroke prevention in patients with AF [1,2].

Lessons Learned From Shared Decision-Making With Oral Anticoagulants: Viewpoint on Suggestions for the Development of Oral Chemotherapy Decision Aids

Lessons Learned From Shared Decision-Making With Oral Anticoagulants: Viewpoint on Suggestions for the Development of Oral Chemotherapy Decision Aids

In addition, a review of 14 SDM tools focused on choosing between Warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants from Torres Roldan et al [28] showed that the current DA developmental process rarely includes patients. The studies observed were overall unsuccessful, as only 2 of the 14 DAs reviewed improved adherence, and 3 of the 14 did not support SDM.

Role of Individual Clinician Authority in the Implementation of Informatics Tools for Population-Based Medication Management: Qualitative Semistructured Interview Study

Role of Individual Clinician Authority in the Implementation of Informatics Tools for Population-Based Medication Management: Qualitative Semistructured Interview Study

With growing use since their introduction in 2010, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are now the most commonly prescribed anticoagulants to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and to prevent or treat venous thromboembolism. Despite their high degree of efficacy, DOACs remain high-risk medications that can cause severe and fatal complications when prescribed inappropriately [1,2].

A Personalized Ontology-Based Decision Support System for Complex Chronic Patients: Retrospective Observational Study

A Personalized Ontology-Based Decision Support System for Complex Chronic Patients: Retrospective Observational Study

Due to the length of some of the documents, information was searched using keywords related to anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs, such as “oral anticoagulants,” “anticoagulation,” “anticoagulants,” “vitamin K antagonists,” “antiaggregants,” “antiaggregation,” “acetylsalicylic acid,” and “clopidogrel.” The information extracted from the selected documents was collected in a tabulated record in the form of rules.

A Smartphone App to Improve Oral Anticoagulation Adherence in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Prospective Observational Study

A Smartphone App to Improve Oral Anticoagulation Adherence in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Prospective Observational Study

A recent meta-analysis found that suboptimal adherence to and persistence with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is common [6]. For example, patients with AF do not take a DOAC every 4 days; one-third of the patients have less than 80% adherence; real-world persistence with DOACs is lower than in randomized controlled trials; and patients with poor adherence have a higher risk of stroke. To date, various greater efforts in monitoring and interventions have been used to improve OAC adherence.

Towards The Automated, Empirical Filtering of Drug-Drug Interaction Alerts in Clinical Decision Support Systems: Historical Cohort Study of Vitamin K Antagonists

Towards The Automated, Empirical Filtering of Drug-Drug Interaction Alerts in Clinical Decision Support Systems: Historical Cohort Study of Vitamin K Antagonists

Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in general and warfarin in particular are among the most frequently prescribed anticoagulants worldwide [1]. These drugs are used in the primary or secondary prevention of all types of thrombosis [1-3]. However, VKAs are associated with a significant risk of adverse events, due to their narrow therapeutic window, inter- and intra-individual variability, and numerous drug-drug interactions (DDIs) [1,4,5].

A Web-Based Clinical System for Cohort Surveillance of Specific Clinical Effectiveness and Safety Outcomes: A Cohort Study of Non–Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants and Warfarin

A Web-Based Clinical System for Cohort Surveillance of Specific Clinical Effectiveness and Safety Outcomes: A Cohort Study of Non–Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants and Warfarin

In this section, we use an example to demonstrate the clinical application of the NCSS, which is used to investigate the clinical effectiveness and safety between novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and warfarin in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). According to clinical guidelines [20,21], anticoagulant therapy is recommended for AF patients to prevent the risk of ischemic stroke, which is one of the major complications of AF.

The Health Buddies App as a Novel Tool to Improve Adherence and Knowledge in Atrial Fibrillation Patients: A Pilot Study

Due to their better risk-benefit profile, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) are now preferred over vitamin K antagonists [10-12]. However, a strict adherence to the prescribed NOAC medication regimen is of pivotal importance for optimal stroke prevention since their anticoagulant effect lasts for only 12-24 hours after each intake [12].
