167 Citations1999A J Howitt, David Armstrong
Patients' unwillingness to take warfarin seemed to be a major factor in limiting the number who would eventually take it, and Qualitative data obtained during the interviews suggested that patients' health beliefs were important factors in determining their choice of treatment.

It need not be an horrendous, or ideologically compromising or scientifically complex task to add a cost dimension to the evaluation of mental health services, and enough examples in the literature of bad costs research to demonstrate that it is not as simple as some people think.

Trial-based estimates of the risks of emboli and haemorrhage, and of the effects of anticoagulants on these risks were used to derive the extent to which haem orrhage has to be seen to be more detrimental than emboli to justify not using anticogulants.

Most elderly people with atrial fibrillation would accept treatment to prevent stroke, and an increase in the use of anticoagulants should be accompanied by the development of services appropriate to this frail population.

It is concluded that 39 patients found who in December 1973 had become long-term residents by virtue of over three years' stay at Leverndale Hospital, Glasgow represent a hard core and that very few of them are likely to be suitable for such alternative forms of care as are at present available.
