BackgroundGenetic variants of the warfarin sensitivity geneCYP2C9have been associated with increased bleeding risk during warfarin initiation. Studies also suggest that such patients remain at risk throughout treatment.ObjectiveWould testing patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) forCYP2C9before initiating warfarin improve outcomes?DesignMarkov state transition decision model.SettingAmbulatory or inpatient settings necessitating new initiation of anticoagulation.PatientsThe base case was a 69-year-old man with newly diagnosed non-valvular AF. Interventions included: (1) warfarin, (2) aspirin, or (3) no antithrombotic therapy without genetic testing; and genetic testing followed by (4) aspirin or (5) no antithrombotic therapy in those with culpritCYP2C9alleles.MeasuresQuality-adjusted life years (QALYs).ResultsIn the base case, testing and treating patients withCYP2C9*2and/orCYP2C9*3with aspirin rather than warfarin was best (8.97 QALYs). However, warfarin without genetic testing was a close second (8.96 QALYs), a difference of roughly 5 days. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that genetic testing followed by aspirin was best for patients at lower risk of embolic events. Warfarin without testing was preferred if the rate of embolic events was greater than 5% per year, or the risk of major bleeding while receiving warfarin was lower.ConclusionFor patients at average risk for ischemic stroke due to AF and at average risk for major hemorrhage, treatment based on genetic testing offers no benefit compared to warfarin initiation without testing. The gain from testing may be larger in patients at lower risk of embolic events or at greater risk of bleeding.
