Predictors of warfarin-associated adverse events in hospitalized patients: Opportunities to prevent patient harm.
The researchers assessed the relationship between daily versus less frequent international normalized ratio ( INR) monitoring and overanticoagulation and warfarin-related adverse events. They bconcluded that daily INR measurement and recognition of a rapidly rising INR might decrease the frequency of warfarin-associated adverse events in hospitalized patients.

Risks associated with anesthesia services during colonoscopy.
The researchers aimed to quantify the difference in complications from colonoscopy with vs without anesthesia services. They concluded that the overall risk of complications after colonoscopy increases when individuals receive anesthesia services. The widespread adoption of anesthesia services with colonoscopy should be considered within the context of all potential risks.
