Objectives To compare different formula calculated dosages with the actual doses of warfarin from patients in Beijing Hospital so as to investigate suitable warfarin dosing models for Chinese patients.Methods One hundred and three Chinese patients with long-term prescription of warfarin were randomly selected from Beijing Hospital from July 2012 to May 2013. The CYP2C9 and VKROC1 genotypes and basic statistical information were collected. SPSS 18.0 software was used to compare the differences between different formula calculated dosages and the actual dosages of warfarin.Results Five genotypes were found in 103 patients, including: CYP2C9 AA genotype + VKORC1 AA genotype (n=72, 69.9%), CYP2C9 AA genotype + VKORC1 AG genotype (n=17, 16.5%), CYP2C9 AC genotype + VKORC1 AA genotype (n=10, 9.7%), CYP2C9 AC genotype + VKORC1 AG genotype (n=3, 2.9%) and CYP2C9 AA genotype + VKORC1 GG genotype (n=1, 1%). Compared with the actual dosages of warfarin, the degree of coincidence was highest for dosages calculated by Jeffrey’s formula.Conclusions  Using Jeffrey’s formula to calculate warfarin dosages may be more suitable for Chinese patients with using long-term warfarin. Due to limited sample size, prospective and large sample size studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
