Abstract
Concern has been expressed about the high rates of exclusion of subjects from randomised trials of warfarin treatment. It has been suggested that the use of similar exclusions in clinical practice would greatly reduce the number of patients eligible for treatment,4 which might explain the low treatment rates. We therefore applied exclusion criteria similar to one of these trials5 to our subjects.Keywords
