ABSTRACT
Introduction: Older adults are often more prone to present unbalanced levels of anticoagulation and adverse effects, and this condition could be influenced by nonadherence to treatment.Objective: To characterize the behavior of adherence to oral anticoagulant therapy for venous thromboembolic disease in older adults.
Methods: A descriptive, retrospective-prospective study was conducted in 42 old people under oral anticoagulant treatment from June to December 2014. It analyzed sociodemographic variables, associated chronic diseases, doses, level of control, frequency of control, complications, length of time in therapeutic status, adherence to treatment and factors that affect it.
Results: In 71.4 % of patients, the percentage of adherence to treatment was high. The length of time in therapeutic status of the study population was 55.1 %.
Conclusions: The studied older patients showed high margin of adherence to oral anticoagulant therapy, although inadequate control of anticoagulation was also predominant.
