Objective To verify the reliability of Anticlot Assistant, a patient self-management system for warfarin therapy assisted by artificial intelligence.Methods It was a single-center, prospective cohort study. The eligible 34 participants were recruited consecutively between November 29, 2017 to September 27, 2018 and managed by warfarin therapy via Anticlot Assistant. The recommendations of Anticlot Assistant were examined and verified by the doctors to ensure the security. Medical records were exported from the the background management system. An univariate analysis compared the outcomes between accepted and overridden records and a logistic regression model was built to determine independent predictors of the outcomes. The research team analyzed 153 medical records, which were from 18 participants and were input by 19 doctors. There were 97 records with doctor accepting the suggestion and 56 records with doctor rejecting the suggestion .Results When the doctors accepted the recommendations, the percentage of the next-test international normalized ratio (INR) in the therapeutic range was higher (64.95% vs. 44.64%, RR=2.298, 95%CI 1.173 to 4.499, P=0.014). The logistic regression analysis revealed that accepting the recommendations was an independent predictor for the next-test INR being in the therapeutic range after controlling potentially confounding factors (OR=2.446, 95%CI 1.103 to 5.423, P=0.028).Conclusion The algorithm of Anticlot Assistant is reasonable and reliable.
