Abstract
Aim. To study the international normalized ratio (INR) values in patients on VKAs in selected area, find out which patient characteristics
that is associated with good INR control and calculation of the time in the therapeutic range (TTR) according to the number of
INR/Patient.
Material and methods. A total of 200 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation prescribed vitamin K antagonist as anticoagulant
were evaluated. They were divided into two groups: group I with TTR≥65% (n=93) and group II with TTR
