摘要
The authors examined the relationships between sex and race and antithrombotics prescribed at discharge in the Michigan Medicare population using retrospective medical record abstraction (n = 2,715) for the period January 1, 2001, to June 30, 2001. There were no differences in the use of antithrombotics at discharge by race or sex and no differences in the prescribing of aspirin, warfarin, aspirin/extended release dipyridamole, or clopidogrel by race or sex after adjustment for confounders.
