Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of the whole-process health management model on the compliance of oral warfarin treatment in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in primary hospitals. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 130 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Hai'an People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. Among them, 63 patients who received routine continuing care were included in the control group, and 67 patients treated with whole-course health management model of primary hospitals were included in the observation group. The two groups were compared in terms of the following parameters: Warfarin anticoagulation knowledge, medication compliance, compliance rate (international normalized ratio, INR) monitoring, bleeding events (gingival bleeding, subcutaneous bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc.), embolic events (vascular thrombosis), negative emotions before and after management, and patient satisfaction. Logistic analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors affecting the effect of warfarin anticoagulation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the warfarin anticoagulation knowledge, medication compliance, and INR compliance rate of the observation group were significantly higher, and the incidence of adverse events was significantly lower. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores were not significantly different between the two groups before management. After management, SAS and SDS scores decreased significantly in both groups, and were lower in the observation group compared with the control group. The management satisfaction was also significantly higher in the observation group. CONCLUSION: Compared with the conventional continuation care model, the whole-process management in primary hospitals can improve patients' compliance with medical advice and treatment efficacy, with lower risk of bleeding and higher patient satisfaction, providing a better option for the out-of-hospital management of anticoagulation for non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients. Age, hypertension, diabetes, knowledge of warfarin anticoagulation and medication compliance were independent risk factors for the effect of warfarin anticoagulation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
