Single-institution uncontrolled open-label trial.
The single-institution uncontrolled open-label trial is to optimize the anticoagulant therapy in the out-patient practice. The study embraces patients who are advised to take the anticoagulant therapy for some reasons. The study has two phases - a retrospective part and a concurrent part. At the first phase, researchers analyze the compliance with the anticoagulant therapy in the real clinical practice. At the concurrent phase, researchers conduct a single-institution uncontrolled open-label trial to evaluate the effectiveness, safety of the anticoagulant therapy and compliance with it at the antithrombotic therapy control ward, and estimate the glomerular filtration rate in patients taking the anticoagulant therapy.

Enrollment
1,000
Patients who need anticoagulants were consulted by a cardiologist with subsequent recommendations
kidney compliance with the anticoagulant therapy and its safety and trends in the kidney function
During a visit to the clinic, the patient will be surveyed and tested for the creatinine level
Time frame: Evaluation of GFR, bleeding and thrombotic complications after 2 years
death due to any cause
phone survey when patients are invited to the clinic
Time frame: in six years after the anticoagulant therapy is prescribed
cardiovascular mortality
Phone survey when patients are invited to the clinic. The term cardiovascular mortality means a set of fatal heart attacks, fatal strokes, sudden death, fatal thromboembolism.
Time frame: Evaluation of GFR, bleeding and thrombotic complications and cardiac mortality after 2 years
kidney function trend
phone survey when patients are invited to the clinic for testing the creatinine level and further estimation of the glomerular filtration rate
Time frame: Evaluation of GFR, bleeding and thrombotic complications and cardiac mortality after 3 years
intensive bleeding
phone survey when patients are invited to the clinic.
Time frame: Evaluation of GFR, bleeding and thrombotic complications and cardiac mortality after 6 years
frequency of thromboembolic events
patients will be surveyed upon their visit to the clinic. Thromboembolic events shall mean non-fatal embolic strokes, systemic embolism, acute coronary syndrome (to be corroborated with documents).
Time frame: in 1-2-3-6 years after the anticoagulant therapy is prescribed
