Comparative validation of a novel risk score for predicting bleeding risk in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation: the HAS-BLED Score. J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2010.09.024 ...

Named for risk factors, a HAS-BLED score determines your chances of bleeding when you have AFib and take blood thinners. Learn more about HAS-BLED here.

Researchers have validated a new score, HAS-BLED, for assessing bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. This could become a useful tool for guiding decisions on anticoagulation in AF ...

The HAS-BLED bleeding risk score was a better predictor of major bleeding in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation compared with the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, according to new ...

Again, the novel ABC bleeding risk score achieved a higher c-index than the two comparator scores at 0.71 vs 0.62 for the HAS-BLED and 0.68 for the ORBIT ( P<0.0001 and P=0.0016, respectively).

The investigators then compared the ABC-bleeding risk score with another major assessment tool—HAS-BLED—based on clinical variables alone. “It was striking that the clinically based HAS-BLED score did ...

GPs should routinely assess patients with atrial fibrillation using the CHA 2 DS 2-VASc and HAS-BLED risk scores to guide decisions on anticoagulation prescribing, according to new recommendations put ...
