To evaluate the effectiveness of the anticoagulant choice algorithm in the prevention of complications of atrial fibrillation (AF). </p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. Patients with AF (n=98) were included into observational prospective study. The level of adherence to treatment, risk of food interactions and presence of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes mutations were determined at the initial examination. These indicators were necessary to specify an eligible anticoagulant according to the evaluated algorithm. Therapy was prescribed by the attending physician. Hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications were assessed at the next examination after 24 weeks. </p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Hemorrhagic complications were observed in 31.6% of patients during the follow-up. Their number was comparable in individuals taking antiplatelet agents and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) (χ2=1.44; p&lt;0.49, Pearson) and significantly more in individuals taking warfarin (as compared to DOACs: χ2=25.08; p&lt;0.000, Pearson; and antiplatelet agents: χ2=34.32; p&lt;0.000, Pearson). Thromboembolic complications were reported in 8.16% of patients. Their number was more in patients taking DOACs than warfarin (χ2=7.03; p&lt;0.03, Pearson). Patients who had to take DOACs according to the algorithm, but in the study took warfarin, demonstrated significantly greater number of thromboembolic complications, with a comparable number of hemorrhagic complications. Patients who could take warfarin according to the algorithm, but in the study took DOACs, had significantly greater number of thromboembolic complications, with a comparable number of hemorrhagic complications. </p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The results of the study demonstrated the potential for reduction in complications, especially thromboembolic, in the choice of anticoagulant using the algorithm; and reduction in complications of therapy, primarily with warfarin, due to the initial prescription of DOACs. The proposed approach, which consists in using the quantitative assessment of adherence to treatment, and only if necessary supplemented by the assessment of food preferences and/or pharmacogenetic studies, contributes to the treatment optimization.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Оценить эффективность использования алгоритма выбора антикоагулянта в профилактике осложнений фибрилляции предсердий (ФП).</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В наблюдательном проспективном когортном исследовании 98 больных ФП при первичном обследовании определяли: уровень приверженности к лечению (по опроснику «КОП-25» оценивали приверженность к лекарственной терапии, к модификации образа жизни, к медицинскому сопровождению), риск пищевых взаимодействий (по опроснику, выявляющему индивидуальные особенности рациона, влияющие на активность варфарина) и наличие мутаций генов CYP2C9 и VKORC1, необходимые врачу-исследователю для определения подходящего антикоагулянта согласно алгоритму. Назначение терапии проводилось лечащим врачом. При повторном обследовании через 24 нед оценивали осложнения (геморрагические и тромбоэмболические). Примененные статистические методы включали процедуры параметрической и непараметрической статистики.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. За время наблюдения геморрагические осложнения были выявлены у 31,6% пациентов, а их количество оказалось сопоставимым у лиц, принимающих антиагреганты и прямые оральные антикоагулянты (ПОАК) (χ2=1,44; p&lt;0,49, Pearson), и значимо большим у лиц, принимающих варфарин (как в сравнении с ПОАК: χ2=25,08; p&lt;0,000, Pearson; так и с антиагрегантами: χ2=34,32; p&lt;0,000, Pearson). Тромбоэмболические осложнения были зарегистрированы у 8,16% больных, а их количество при приеме ПОАК оказалось выше, чем при приеме варфарина (χ2=7,03; p&lt;0,03, Pearson). Пациенты, которые должны были по алгоритму принимать ПОАК, но в исследовании принимали варфарин, имели значимо большее количество тромбоэмболических осложнений, при сопоставимом количестве геморрагических осложнений. Пациенты, которые могли по алгоритму принимать варфарин, но в исследовании принимали ПОАК, имели значимо большее количество тромбоэмболических осложнений, при сопоставимом количестве геморрагических.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Результаты исследования демонстрируют потенциальную возможность сокращения осложнений, прежде всего, тромбоэмболических, при подборе антикоагулянта с использованием алгоритма и уменьшения осложнений терапии, в первую очередь, варфарина, за счет исходного назначения ПОАК. Предложенный подход, заключающийся в использовании количественной оценки приверженности к лечению, и лишь при необходимости дополняемый оценкой пищевых предпочтений и/или фармакогенетического исследования, способствует оптимизации лечебного процесса.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>приверженность</kwd><kwd>антикоагулянты</kwd><kwd>алгоритм</kwd><kwd>фибрилляция предсердий</kwd><kwd>варфарин</kwd><kwd>прямые оральные антикоагулянты</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>adherence</kwd><kwd>anticoagulants</kwd><kwd>algorithm</kwd><kwd>atrial fibrillation</kwd><kwd>warfarin</kwd><kwd>direct oral anticoagulants</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Диагностика и лечение фибрилляции предсердий.
