[Relationship between prothrombin time international normalized ratio and thrombo test (%)].

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:The optimal therapeutic range for laboratory evaluation of oral anticoagulant therapy is now defined by the prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT-INR). However, the thrombo test (TT), an alternative method to measure intensity of anticoagulation, is also currently used throughout Japan. The relationship between PT-INR and TT (%) has yet to be clarified. This study investigated the relationship between PT-INR and TT (%). METHODS:The PT-INR and TT (%) were simultaneously measured of 505 consecutive samples from patients treated with warfarin in our hospital. Fourteen functions were used for regression analyses: a fractional function (Y = a/X + b), a square root function (Y = aX0.5 + b), a natural logarithmic function (Y = a.lnX + b), a power series function (Y = aXb), a quotient function (Y = abX), and polynomial functions [Y = anXn + an - 1Xn - 1 +......+ a1X1 + b, (1 < or = n < or = 9)]. The results were confirmed by the same methods in 383 samples and 296 samples from another two laboratories. RESULTS:The power series function showed the most significant (p < 0.0001) and highest adjusted R2 (0.858) correlation, with a regression formula of TT (%) = e4.48 (PT-INR)-2.09 in our laboratory. Using the same analyses, the power series function also showed the most significant and highest adjusted R2 in samples from the other two laboratories. CONCLUSIONS:This study showed that a power series function is the most appropriate for expressing the relationship between PT-INR and TT (%) among the 14 functions. The function between PT-INR and TT (%) is mainly derived from the relationship between TT (%) and TT (sec). Both internal validity and external validity confirmed the relationship between PT-INR and TT (%).
