Why is it important?

Evaluating the persistence with anticoagulants in routine clinical practice is important because deviation from a prescribed regimen may lead to subtherapeutic responses and increased risk of VTE recurrence. Limited evidence showed that persistence was suboptimal. Observational data on persistence with anticoagulation treatment, especially direct oral anticoagulants, in patients with VTE and its effect on risk of VTE recurrence were scarce and further research is required.
