Abstract: A method to quantify and correct for drug-drug interaction, physiologic change, diet, weight, genetic data and compliance on Warfarin dosing. The International Normalized Ratio (INR), a lab value used to follow Warfarin use, will fluctuate in an unpredictable manner due to factors other than the current Warfarin dose. The method mathematically describes these changes and eventually adjusts for these interacting factors through the use of logistic regression (LR) or multiple linear regression analysis. By anticipating changes in INR, Warfarin dosing can be adjusted resulting in patients having their INR be therapeutic range. The technique can be used in any field that requires a specific measured quantity, with variables that change and the need to correct for changes with a mathematical model.
