Self-Monitoring of Oral Anticoagulation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Lancet 367:404-411,412, Heneghan,C.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Self-management improves the quality of oral anticoagulation. Patients capable of self-monitoring and self-adjusting therapy have fewer thromboembolic events and lower mortality than those who self-monitor alone. However, self-monitoring is not feasible for all patients, and requires identification and education of suitable candidates.
