Abstract
Warfarin has a long record of safe and effective clinical use, and it remains one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic conditions even in the era of direct oral anticoagulants. To address its large interindividual variability and narrow therapeutic window, the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium has recommended using pharmacogenetic dosing algorithms, such as the ones developed by the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC) and by Gage et al, to dose warfarin when genotype information is available. In China, dosing algorithms based on local patient populations have been developed and evaluated for predictive accuracy of warfarin maintenance doses. In this study, percentage deviations of doses predicted by 15 Chinese dosing algorithms from that by IWPC and Gage algorithms were systematically evaluated to understand the differences between Chinese and Western algorithms. In general, dose predictions by Chinese dosing algorithms tended to be lower than those predicted by IWPC or Gage algorithms for the most prevalent VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genotypes in the Chinese population. The extent of negative prediction deviation appeared to be largest in the younger age group with smaller body weight. Our findings are consistent with previous reports that Asians have a higher sensitivity to warfarin and require lower doses than Western populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Warfarin's narrow therapeutic index and high variability in dosage requirements make dosage selection critical. Genetic factors are known to impact warfarin dosage selection. The Hmong are a unique Asian subpopulation numbering over 278,000 in the United States whose participation in genetics-based research is virtually nonexistent. The translational significance of early reports of warfarin pharmacogene differences in Hmong has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVES (i) To validate previously identified allele frequency differences relevant to warfarin dosing in Hmong versus East Asians and (ii) to compare predicted warfarin sensitivity and maintenance doses between a Hmong population and an East Asian cohort. METHOD DNA collected from two independent cohorts (n=236 and n=198) of Hmong adults were genotyped for CYP2C9 (*2, *3), VKORC1 (G-1639A), and CYP4F2 (*3). Allele frequencies between the combined Hmong cohort (n=433) and East Asians (n=1165) from the 2009 International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC) study were compared using a χ2 test. Percentages of Hmong and East Asian participants predicted to be very sensitive to warfarin were compared using a χ2 test, and the predicted mean warfarin maintenance dose was compared with a t test. RESULTS The allele frequencies of CYP2C9*3 in the combined Hmong cohort and CYP4F2*3 in the VIP-Hmong cohort are significantly different from those in East Asians (18.9% vs 3.0%, p<0.001 and 9.8% vs 22.1%, p<0.001, respectively). Comparing the combined Hmong cohort to the East Asian cohort, the percentage of participants predicted to be very sensitive to warfarin was significantly higher (28% vs 5%, p<0.01) and the mean predicted warfarin maintenance dose was significantly lower (19.8 vs 21.3 mg/week, p<0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION The unique allele frequencies related to warfarin when combined with nongenetic factors observed in the Hmong translate into clinically relevant differences in predicted maintenance dose requirements for Hmong versus East Asians.

Abstract
Aim: To compare the prediction performance of different warfarin dosing algorithms based on Chinese patients. Materials & methods: A total of 18 algorithms were tested in 325 patients. The predictive efficacy of selected algorithms was evaluated by calculating the percentage of patients whose predicted dose fell within ±20% of their actual stable warfarin dose and the mean absolute error. Results: The percentage within ± 20% and the mean absolute error of the algorithms ranged from 11.9 to 41.2% and -0.20 (-0.29 to -0.11) mg/d to -1.63 (-1.75 to -1.50) mg/d. The algorithms established by Miao et al. and Wei et al. had optimal predictive performance. Conclusion: Algorithms based on geographical populations might be more suitable for the prediction of stable warfarin doses in local patients.

Comparison of two point of care whole blood coagulation analysis devices and conventional coagulation tests as a predicting tool of perioperative bleeding in adult cardiac surgery-a pilot prospective observational study in Japan. Transfusion 2019; 59:3525-3535. [PMID: 31614002 DOI: 10.1111/trf.15523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2019] [Revised: 06/10/2019] [Accepted: 08/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is widely accepted that Point-of Care Test (PoCT) devices are useful in the detection of coagulopathies in situations of massive bleeding such as major cardiac surgery. These devices contribute to the reduction of blood transfusion. However, their implementation remains limited in Japan because of their cost and lack of health insurance support. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Conventional coagulation tests and thromboelastography (TEG)/Sonoclot values were measured in 50 consecutive cardiac surgery cases. Clinical background information such as operative procedures was obtained from electronic medical records, and the theoretical perioperative total blood loss was calculated by measuring the hemoglobin content and total red blood cell transfusion volume. The correlation between perioperative total blood loss and the measured laboratory values or clinical parameters was evaluated by a multivariate linear regression analysis. The risk factors of the total amount of platelet transfusion and postoperative drain bleeding volume were similarly evaluated. RESULTS No significant association between the estimated perioperative total blood loss (eTBL) and the laboratory measurements including conventional coagulation tests, TEG and Sonoclot was observed. On the other hand, postoperative drain bleeding volume was significantly associated with postoperative Sonoclot CR (p = 0.039) as well as preoperative use of oral anticoagulants and cell saver treated blood volume. Platelet transfusion amount was significantly associated with post-CBP PF and time to peak value of Sonoclot (p = 0.014 and 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION Sonoclot measurements may be useful to estimate the risks of postoperative bleeding and platelet transfusion in cardiac surgeries in Japan.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many warfarin-related genotypes have shown to impact the average daily warfarin (ADW) dose requirements; however, information in non-Caucasian populations is limited. OBJECTIVES To identify the frequencies of 4 warfarin-related gene polymorphisms in an ethnically diverse patient population and to examine their impact with other clinical variables on ADW dose requirements. METHODS Patients were recruited from 2 anticoagulation clinics in the Los Angeles area. Blood samples were collected and genotyped for vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1), CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3, and CYP4F2 after informed consent. Charts were reviewed to collect demographic, clinical, and warfarin dosing data. RESULTS A total of 291 patients were included (120 Caucasians, 127 Hispanics, and 44 Asians). In patients with wild-type genotypes for VKORC1, CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3, and CYP4F2, the highest warfarin requirement was found in Caucasians, lower in Hispanics, and lowest in Asians. Homozygous VKORC1 variant carriers were detected in 15%, 15%, and 79% in Caucasians, Hispanics, and Asians, respectively. Progressive lowering of ADW doses were associated with each VKORC1 variant in Caucasians and Hispanics, but the results in wild-type/ heterozygote Asians were unclear. CYP2C9 variants were associated with lower ADW doses; frequencies of CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 mutations were higher in Caucasians than in Hispanics but rare to none in Asians. The frequencies of CYP4F2 variant were similar across all ethnicities, but their impact on warfarin dose requirement were insignificant. Clinical factors such as age, body surface area, history of coronary artery disease, deep vein thrombosis or atrial fibrillation, and concomitant amiodarone or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors had varying impact on the ADW requirements in the ethnicities studied. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated differences among 3 ethnic groups in terms of ADW dose requirements and the impact of associated clinical variables. The results suggest that a single model for all ethnicities may not provide the best performance in predicting warfarin dose requirements.
