    ObjectiveThe sex, age, medical history, treatment, tobacco use, race risk (SAMe-TT2R2) Score; the sex, age, medical history, treatment, tobacco use, genotype combination (SAMe-TT2G2) Score; and the so-called modified SAMe-TT2R2 scores have been proposed to predict the anticoagulation quality for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The data from a prospective controlled study is used to validate the SAMe-TT2R2 and SAMe-TT2G2 scores in Chinese NVAF patients treated with warfarin and to evaluate the association of factors with time in therapeutic range (TTR) to predict the quality of oral anticoagulation control.MethodsA total of 379 patients with NVAF under warfarin treatment for a three-month follow-up were included in this prospective, multicenter study. The quality of oral anticoagulation control was evaluated by the TTR. The TTR was dichotomized for binary logistic regression analysis, using a cutoff point for classification as an inadequate (TTR < 65.0%) control.ResultsThe 379 NVAF patients had a mean TTR of 58.35 ± 26.33% and median SAMe-TT2R2 and SAMe-TT2G2 scores of 3 and 2, respectively. The discrimination performances of the SAMe-TT2R2 and SAMe-TT2G2 scores for inadequate anticoagulation control (TTR < 65.0%) were poor (c-index < 0.60). The gene frequency of CYP2C9*3 was 3.2% and that of VKORC1-1639 G > A was 89.3%. Genetic variation of CYP2C9*3 and VKORC1-1639 G > A did not affect TTR after initial treatment. The condition TTR < 65.0% was associated with an age below 60 without genotype-guided warfarin dose initiation and concomitant torasemide.ConclusionsA warfarin-dosing algorithm used for initial treatment of patients older than 60 helps to achieve a better quality of oral anticoagulation control, whereas concomitant torasemide can produce a negative effect. These findings provide useful information for future investigations on the quality of oral anticoagulation control in Chinese anticoagulation clinical practice.
