Description
Firafan Shuma Teka and co-authors pooled Ethiopian studies on warfarin control in a 2026 review. Warfarin prevents dangerous clots, but only when blood thinning stays inside a target range. Clinicians measure that with time in therapeutic range, and African averages are generally low.
The team searched six databases for Ethiopian studies of adult warfarin users reporting that measure. They judged study quality with a standard tool and combined results with a random-effects model. No national pooled figure existed before. A single trustworthy estimate tells health planners how far anticoagulation care falls short and where clinics most need support with dosing and monitoring.
