| Summary: | Warfarin is one of anticoagulant which used by ischemic stroke with atrial
fibrillation inpatients. Recently, using anticoagulant as the prevention therapy still
be research.The result which expect at this patients can be known from increasing
INR (International Normalized Ratio) and reach therapy target.
This research is cross sectional study. The data were taken prospectively
from patient�s medical record in stroke unit and inpatients ward of Dahlia 2.
Subjects were patients with ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation and the research
object included INR (International Normalized Ratio) for inpatients using
warfarin and addition information from the family of patients and medical staff.
The data were analyzed descriptively and correlatively. The analysis of data using
by drawing of graphs about correlation INR with duration of therapy for
inpatients, warfarin dose, comorbidity of patients, the other therapy which using
patients in hospital and reached or not reached from INR target of every patients.
Besides, multiple regression linear statistical analysis was conducted to find the
difference between the warfarin dose and duration of warfarin to INR target 1.5-
2.0 (International Normalized Ratio).
The result of study showed the significant association (P<0.05) of dose
and duration of warfarin on INR (International Normalized Ratio) target 1.5-2.0
of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
