ABSTRACT
Introduction: During the therapeutic anticoagulation is important to maintain vigilance over the patient because there might occur bleedings associated to the therapy.Objective: To design a tool to predict the bleeding probabilities by the use of warfarin sodium.
Methods: An observational study was conducted in 50 patients treated with warfarin in "Dr. Agostinho Neto" Hospital, during the biennium 2016-2017. It was studied the age, sex, motive of the prescription and dose of warfarin; also the compliance and medical treatment´s control, the use of drugs that interfere with the action of warfarin and the comorbidity. It was developed and validated a scale to predict the bleeding probabilities by the use of warfarin.
Results: The predictive scale designed showed a high level of accuracy, because it was possible to accurately predict the risk of bleeding by the use of warfarin sodium.
Conclusions: The scale developed allowed to do a more objective prediction of the anticoagulant effect of warfarin sodium. So that is configured in a scientific methodological instrument for clinical monitoring of patients treated with warfarin, which boosts the quality of the medical attention.
