Nearly half of surveyed GPs reported greater confidence with NOACs, while only 6.2% reported greater confidence with warfarin. GPs were much more likely to report greater confidence initiating NOACs than warfarin.

NOAC monitoring may be vulnerable because it lacks reinforcement through INR testing or laboratory-managed anticoagulation programmes.
