Review Case ReportsSystematic review of warfarin-induced skin necrosis case reports and secondary analysis of factors associated with mortality.
Warfarin-induced skin necrosis (WSN) is a rare (0.0.1%-0.1%) and severe adverse reaction. The clinical characteristics of this reaction and its mortality rate have not been explored in a large population. Therefore, we present the case of a Peruvian patient who developed WSN and perform a systematic review of case reports of WSN. ⋯ This systematic review identified 90 case reports of WSN with three or more affected body regions. Male sex was associated with an increased risk of death. Further studies are needed to analyse and confirm these results.
