- Abstract
The article offers information on a study which determined patterns of anticoagulant use and predictors of type of anticoagulant prescribed for hospice patients with lung cancer. A review of the related literature on guidelines for the use of anticoagulants in cancer is offered. Medication data were analyzed for 16,896 hospice patients with lung cancer in 2006. A logistic regression model was used to identify independent predictors of warfarin against low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) prescription.
