Early reports of low complication rates with ACCs were uncontrolled descriptive reports. The findings of later controlled trials were limited because the prothrombin time ratio (PTR) rather than the International Normalized Ratio (INR) was used. Three of four INR-based studies found that the use of an ACC reduced complication rates by 70-90%. The study described in this report is an ongoing evaluation of the complication rates and associated health care costs among two inception cohorts in a university-based clinic. Patients started on warfarin during 20 months before the ACC opened are compared with patients started on warfarin (and enrolled in the ACC) after the ACC opened. Complication rates, hospitalisations, and emergency room visits appear to be reduced by 65-80% in the ACC group, and this equates to a saving in health care costs of approximately $1200 per patient per year.
