ldquoIt is conventional to divide AF into cases which

are described as ldquovalvularrdquo or ldquonon-valvularrdquo

No satisfactory or uniform definition of these

terms exists

In this guideline the term valvular AF is used to

imply that AF is related to rheumatic valvular

disease (predominantly mitral stenosis) or

Validation of risk stratification schemes for predicting

stroke and thromboembolism in patients with atrial

fibrillation nationwide cohort study

Schemes for stratifying the risk of stroke have been largely derived from non-anticoagulated arms of clinical trial cohorts in which many potential thromboembolic risk factors were not recorded In these historical trials less than 10 of patients screened were randomised and over the past 15-20 years the evolution of risk schemes has not improved their predictive value for patients at high risk

An ideal validation cohort for a thromboembolic risk scheme would be a large real world cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation without any use of anticoagulation treatment

stroke risk in AF is not homogeneous but despite stroke risk in AF being a continuum prior stroke risk stratification schema have been used to artificially categorise patients into low moderate and high risk stroke strata so that the patients at highest risk can be identified for warfarin therapy

What Are the Risk Factors for Thromboembolism

Whereas it is recognized that AF increases the risk of

stroke and thromboembolism by 5-fold we do

increasingly appreciate that that this risk is not

homogeneous and is altered by the presence of

various stroke risk factors

Also the risk profile changes over time

However multivariate predictors of adverse outcomes

including thromboembolism were arrhythmia

To complement the CHADS2 score the new European Society of

performed in an European cohort from the EuroHeart survey on AF to provide

European data for the European guideline

In a nationwide Danish cohort study of 73538 hospitalized on anticoagulated

patients with AF in Denmark reported that in low risklsquolsquo subjects

(CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) the 1-year rate of thromboembolism per 100

person-years was 078 (058ndash104) in contrast to an event rate with the

CHADS2 score of 167 (95 CI 147ndash189) The c-statistics (a statistical

La valutazione del rischio cardioembolico durata della FA e fattori di

rischio embolico

Per quanto riguarda la durata della FA da studi che utilizzano la registrazione a lungo termine

fornita dai PM impiantati sappiamo che pazienti con periodi di FA superiori alle 24 ore

hanno un rischio embolico triplicato rispetto a pazienti senza FA o con

periodi piugrave brevi e che periodi di FA superiori a 5 minuti raddoppiano il

rischio di morte o ictus in pazienti con malattia del nodo del seno Cappucci ha

studiato 725 pazienti impiantati con PM-DDDR con un follow up di 22 mesi il 2 di questi ha avuto

unrsquoembolia arteriosa Associazioni indipendenti di rischio per lrsquoembolia sono state la cardiopatia ischemica

embolie pregresse diabete ipertensione il rischio di FA egrave di 31 volte se lrsquoaritmia dura piugrave di 24 ore

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

alto rischio embolico (pazienti senza FA e con punteggio CHADS2 da 3 in su con FA di durata da 5 minuti a

24 ore e con CHADS2 da 2 in su con FA della durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS2 da 1 in su rischio

embolico 5 annuo)

Gli studi mostrano come il rischio cardioembolico sia direttamente correlato

sia alla durata degli episodi aritmici sia alle patologie concomitanti

1 Assessment of AF burden

2 Echocardiography - transoesphageal echocardiography

3 Blood biomarkers

4 Renal (dys)function

5 Detailed cerebral imaging

However this would be at the cost of reduced simplicity and

practicality limiting its (immediate) quicklsquo use in everyday

clinical practice

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

In the nationwide Danish cohort the c-statistics for the

HAS-BLED and HEMORR2HAGES (Hepatic or renal failure

Ethanol abuse Malignancy Older [age gt75 years] Reduced

psychiatric disorders] and history of Stroke) schemes were

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

HEMORR2HAGES in predicting bleeding risk

but the HAS-BLED score is much simpler and

easier to use in everyday clinical practice

HAS-BLED demonstrated a significant predictive performance for

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

La valutazione del rischio cardioembolico durata della FA e fattori di

rischio embolico

Per quanto riguarda la durata della FA da studi che utilizzano la registrazione a lungo termine

fornita dai PM impiantati sappiamo che pazienti con periodi di FA superiori alle 24 ore

hanno un rischio embolico triplicato rispetto a pazienti senza FA o con

periodi piugrave brevi e che periodi di FA superiori a 5 minuti raddoppiano il

rischio di morte o ictus in pazienti con malattia del nodo del seno Cappucci ha

studiato 725 pazienti impiantati con PM-DDDR con un follow up di 22 mesi il 2 di questi ha avuto

unrsquoembolia arteriosa Associazioni indipendenti di rischio per lrsquoembolia sono state la cardiopatia ischemica

embolie pregresse diabete ipertensione il rischio di FA egrave di 31 volte se lrsquoaritmia dura piugrave di 24 ore

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

alto rischio embolico (pazienti senza FA e con punteggio CHADS2 da 3 in su con FA di durata da 5 minuti a

24 ore e con CHADS2 da 2 in su con FA della durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS2 da 1 in su rischio

embolico 5 annuo)

Gli studi mostrano come il rischio cardioembolico sia direttamente correlato

sia alla durata degli episodi aritmici sia alle patologie concomitanti

5 Detailed cerebral imaging

However this would be at the cost of reduced simplicity and

practicality limiting its (immediate) quicklsquo use in everyday

clinical practice

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

In the nationwide Danish cohort the c-statistics for the

HAS-BLED and HEMORR2HAGES (Hepatic or renal failure

Ethanol abuse Malignancy Older [age gt75 years] Reduced

platelet count or function 2 points for Rebleeding risk

Hypertension [uncontrolled] Anemia Genetic factors

Excessive fall risk [including neurodegenerative and

psychiatric disorders] and history of Stroke) schemes were

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

HEMORR2HAGES in predicting bleeding risk

but the HAS-BLED score is much simpler and

easier to use in everyday clinical practice

Conclusions

All 3 tested bleeding riskndashprediction scores demonstrated only modest

performance in predicting any clinically relevant bleeding although the

HAS-BLED score performed better than the

HEMORR2HAGES and ATRIA scores as reflected by ROC

analysis reclassification analysis and decision-curve analysis Only

HAS-BLED demonstrated a significant predictive performance for

intracranial hemorrhage Given its simplicity the HAS-BLED score

may be an attractive method for the estimation of oral

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

Validation of risk stratification schemes for predicting

stroke and thromboembolism in patients with atrial

fibrillation nationwide cohort study

Schemes for stratifying the risk of stroke have been largely derived from non-anticoagulated arms of clinical trial cohorts in which many potential thromboembolic risk factors were not recorded In these historical trials less than 10 of patients screened were randomised and over the past 15-20 years the evolution of risk schemes has not improved their predictive value for patients at high risk

An ideal validation cohort for a thromboembolic risk scheme would be a large real world cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation without any use of anticoagulation treatment

stroke risk in AF is not homogeneous but despite stroke risk in AF being a continuum prior stroke risk stratification schema have been used to artificially categorise patients into low moderate and high risk stroke strata so that the patients at highest risk can be identified for warfarin therapy

What Are the Risk Factors for Thromboembolism

Whereas it is recognized that AF increases the risk of

stroke and thromboembolism by 5-fold we do

increasingly appreciate that that this risk is not

homogeneous and is altered by the presence of

various stroke risk factors

Also the risk profile changes over time

However multivariate predictors of adverse outcomes

including thromboembolism were arrhythmia

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

How should we approach stroke risk

assessment in AF

By being more inclusive rather than

exclusive of common stroke risk factors in AF we

can clearly do much better in reducing stroke and

mortality in AF which are the 2 main endpoints that

are significantly reduced by oral anticoagulation

compared to placebocontrol

Validation of risk stratification schemes for predicting

stroke and thromboembolism in patients with atrial

fibrillation nationwide cohort study

Schemes for stratifying the risk of stroke have been largely derived from non-anticoagulated arms of clinical trial cohorts in which many potential thromboembolic risk factors were not recorded In these historical trials less than 10 of patients screened were randomised and over the past 15-20 years the evolution of risk schemes has not improved their predictive value for patients at high risk

An ideal validation cohort for a thromboembolic risk scheme would be a large real world cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation without any use of anticoagulation treatment

stroke risk in AF is not homogeneous but despite stroke risk in AF being a continuum prior stroke risk stratification schema have been used to artificially categorise patients into low moderate and high risk stroke strata so that the patients at highest risk can be identified for warfarin therapy

What Are the Risk Factors for Thromboembolism

Whereas it is recognized that AF increases the risk of

stroke and thromboembolism by 5-fold we do

increasingly appreciate that that this risk is not

homogeneous and is altered by the presence of

various stroke risk factors

Also the risk profile changes over time

However multivariate predictors of adverse outcomes

including thromboembolism were arrhythmia

progression (ie from paroxysmal to permanent AF)

Two comprehensive systematic reviews from the Stroke in

AF Working Group and the UK National Institute for Health

and Clinical Evidence (NICE) guidelines have summarized

the published evidence for various risk factors on stroke

largely based on nonwarfarin arms of clinical trials and a

few epidemiological cohorts

These risk factors have been used to formulate stroke risk

stratification schemes such as the CHADS2 (Congestive

In the Loire Valley AF Project among nonanticoagulated

AF patients with no CHADS2 risk factors (N = 1035) the

impact of age was clearly seen because the

strokethromboembolic event rate per 100 person-

years was 023 (95 CI 008ndash072) 205 (107ndash393)

and 399 (263ndash606) in those aged lt65 65 to 74 and

ge75 years respectively

Female gender has also been associated with a higher risk

To complement the CHADS2 score the new European Society of

Cardiology guidelines have deemphasized the low moderate and high

risk stratification given the poor predictive value of such artificial strata

and more emphasis was put on a risk factorndashbased

approach

The first derivation and validation of the CHA2DS2-VASc score was

performed in an European cohort from the EuroHeart survey on AF to provide

European data for the European guideline

In a nationwide Danish cohort study of 73538 hospitalized on anticoagulated

patients with AF in Denmark reported that in low risklsquolsquo subjects

(CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) the 1-year rate of thromboembolism per 100

person-years was 078 (058ndash104) in contrast to an event rate with the

CHADS2 score of 167 (95 CI 147ndash189) The c-statistics (a statistical

measure of the predictive value of a risk score) with the CHA2DS2-VASc

score clearly outperform the CHADS2 at 1 5 and 10 years of follow-up

La valutazione del rischio cardioembolico durata della FA e fattori di

rischio embolico

Per quanto riguarda la durata della FA da studi che utilizzano la registrazione a lungo termine

fornita dai PM impiantati sappiamo che pazienti con periodi di FA superiori alle 24 ore

hanno un rischio embolico triplicato rispetto a pazienti senza FA o con

periodi piugrave brevi e che periodi di FA superiori a 5 minuti raddoppiano il

rischio di morte o ictus in pazienti con malattia del nodo del seno Cappucci ha

studiato 725 pazienti impiantati con PM-DDDR con un follow up di 22 mesi il 2 di questi ha avuto

unrsquoembolia arteriosa Associazioni indipendenti di rischio per lrsquoembolia sono state la cardiopatia ischemica

embolie pregresse diabete ipertensione il rischio di FA egrave di 31 volte se lrsquoaritmia dura piugrave di 24 ore

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

alto rischio embolico (pazienti senza FA e con punteggio CHADS2 da 3 in su con FA di durata da 5 minuti a

24 ore e con CHADS2 da 2 in su con FA della durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS2 da 1 in su rischio

embolico 5 annuo)

Gli studi mostrano come il rischio cardioembolico sia direttamente correlato

sia alla durata degli episodi aritmici sia alle patologie concomitanti

5 Detailed cerebral imaging

However this would be at the cost of reduced simplicity and

practicality limiting its (immediate) quicklsquo use in everyday

clinical practice

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

To complement the CHADS2 score the new European Society of

performed in an European cohort from the EuroHeart survey on AF to provide

European data for the European guideline

In a nationwide Danish cohort study of 73538 hospitalized on anticoagulated

patients with AF in Denmark reported that in low risklsquolsquo subjects

(CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) the 1-year rate of thromboembolism per 100

person-years was 078 (058ndash104) in contrast to an event rate with the

La valutazione del rischio cardioembolico durata della FA e fattori di

rischio embolico

Per quanto riguarda la durata della FA da studi che utilizzano la registrazione a lungo termine

fornita dai PM impiantati sappiamo che pazienti con periodi di FA superiori alle 24 ore

hanno un rischio embolico triplicato rispetto a pazienti senza FA o con

periodi piugrave brevi e che periodi di FA superiori a 5 minuti raddoppiano il

rischio di morte o ictus in pazienti con malattia del nodo del seno Cappucci ha

studiato 725 pazienti impiantati con PM-DDDR con un follow up di 22 mesi il 2 di questi ha avuto

unrsquoembolia arteriosa Associazioni indipendenti di rischio per lrsquoembolia sono state la cardiopatia ischemica

embolie pregresse diabete ipertensione il rischio di FA egrave di 31 volte se lrsquoaritmia dura piugrave di 24 ore

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

alto rischio embolico (pazienti senza FA e con punteggio CHADS2 da 3 in su con FA di durata da 5 minuti a

24 ore e con CHADS2 da 2 in su con FA della durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS2 da 1 in su rischio

embolico 5 annuo)

Gli studi mostrano come il rischio cardioembolico sia direttamente correlato

sia alla durata degli episodi aritmici sia alle patologie concomitanti

1 Assessment of AF burden

2 Echocardiography - transoesphageal echocardiography

3 Blood biomarkers

4 Renal (dys)function

5 Detailed cerebral imaging

However this would be at the cost of reduced simplicity and

practicality limiting its (immediate) quicklsquo use in everyday

clinical practice

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

In the nationwide Danish cohort the c-statistics for the

HAS-BLED and HEMORR2HAGES (Hepatic or renal failure

Ethanol abuse Malignancy Older [age gt75 years] Reduced

platelet count or function 2 points for Rebleeding risk

Hypertension [uncontrolled] Anemia Genetic factors

Excessive fall risk [including neurodegenerative and

psychiatric disorders] and history of Stroke) schemes were

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

HEMORR2HAGES in predicting bleeding risk

but the HAS-BLED score is much simpler and

easier to use in everyday clinical practice

All 3 tested bleeding riskndashprediction scores demonstrated only modest

performance in predicting any clinically relevant bleeding although the

HEMORR2HAGES and ATRIA scores as reflected by ROC

HAS-BLED demonstrated a significant predictive performance for

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

Per quanto riguarda la durata della FA da studi che utilizzano la registrazione a lungo termine

fornita dai PM impiantati sappiamo che pazienti con periodi di FA superiori alle 24 ore

periodi piugrave brevi e che periodi di FA superiori a 5 minuti raddoppiano il

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

To complement the CHADS2 score the new European Society of

and more emphasis was put on a risk factorndashbased

approach

The first derivation and validation of the CHA2DS2-VASc score was

performed in an European cohort from the EuroHeart survey on AF to provide

European data for the European guideline

In a nationwide Danish cohort study of 73538 hospitalized on anticoagulated

patients with AF in Denmark reported that in low risklsquolsquo subjects

(CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) the 1-year rate of thromboembolism per 100

person-years was 078 (058ndash104) in contrast to an event rate with the

La valutazione del rischio cardioembolico durata della FA e fattori di

rischio embolico

Per quanto riguarda la durata della FA da studi che utilizzano la registrazione a lungo termine

fornita dai PM impiantati sappiamo che pazienti con periodi di FA superiori alle 24 ore

hanno un rischio embolico triplicato rispetto a pazienti senza FA o con

periodi piugrave brevi e che periodi di FA superiori a 5 minuti raddoppiano il

rischio di morte o ictus in pazienti con malattia del nodo del seno Cappucci ha

studiato 725 pazienti impiantati con PM-DDDR con un follow up di 22 mesi il 2 di questi ha avuto

unrsquoembolia arteriosa Associazioni indipendenti di rischio per lrsquoembolia sono state la cardiopatia ischemica

embolie pregresse diabete ipertensione il rischio di FA egrave di 31 volte se lrsquoaritmia dura piugrave di 24 ore

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

alto rischio embolico (pazienti senza FA e con punteggio CHADS2 da 3 in su con FA di durata da 5 minuti a

24 ore e con CHADS2 da 2 in su con FA della durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS2 da 1 in su rischio

embolico 5 annuo)

Gli studi mostrano come il rischio cardioembolico sia direttamente correlato

sia alla durata degli episodi aritmici sia alle patologie concomitanti

1 Assessment of AF burden

2 Echocardiography - transoesphageal echocardiography

3 Blood biomarkers

4 Renal (dys)function

5 Detailed cerebral imaging

However this would be at the cost of reduced simplicity and

practicality limiting its (immediate) quicklsquo use in everyday

clinical practice

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

To complement the CHADS2 score the new European Society of

Cardiology guidelines have deemphasized the low moderate and high

risk stratification given the poor predictive value of such artificial strata

and more emphasis was put on a risk factorndashbased

approach

The first derivation and validation of the CHA2DS2-VASc score was

performed in an European cohort from the EuroHeart survey on AF to provide

European data for the European guideline

In a nationwide Danish cohort study of 73538 hospitalized on anticoagulated

patients with AF in Denmark reported that in low risklsquolsquo subjects

(CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) the 1-year rate of thromboembolism per 100

person-years was 078 (058ndash104) in contrast to an event rate with the

CHADS2 score of 167 (95 CI 147ndash189) The c-statistics (a statistical

measure of the predictive value of a risk score) with the CHA2DS2-VASc

score clearly outperform the CHADS2 at 1 5 and 10 years of follow-up

La valutazione del rischio cardioembolico durata della FA e fattori di

rischio embolico

Per quanto riguarda la durata della FA da studi che utilizzano la registrazione a lungo termine

fornita dai PM impiantati sappiamo che pazienti con periodi di FA superiori alle 24 ore

hanno un rischio embolico triplicato rispetto a pazienti senza FA o con

periodi piugrave brevi e che periodi di FA superiori a 5 minuti raddoppiano il

rischio di morte o ictus in pazienti con malattia del nodo del seno Cappucci ha

studiato 725 pazienti impiantati con PM-DDDR con un follow up di 22 mesi il 2 di questi ha avuto

unrsquoembolia arteriosa Associazioni indipendenti di rischio per lrsquoembolia sono state la cardiopatia ischemica

embolie pregresse diabete ipertensione il rischio di FA egrave di 31 volte se lrsquoaritmia dura piugrave di 24 ore

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

alto rischio embolico (pazienti senza FA e con punteggio CHADS2 da 3 in su con FA di durata da 5 minuti a

24 ore e con CHADS2 da 2 in su con FA della durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS2 da 1 in su rischio

embolico 5 annuo)

Gli studi mostrano come il rischio cardioembolico sia direttamente correlato

sia alla durata degli episodi aritmici sia alle patologie concomitanti

3 Blood biomarkers

5 Detailed cerebral imaging

However this would be at the cost of reduced simplicity and

practicality limiting its (immediate) quicklsquo use in everyday

clinical practice

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

In the nationwide Danish cohort the c-statistics for the

HAS-BLED and HEMORR2HAGES (Hepatic or renal failure

Ethanol abuse Malignancy Older [age gt75 years] Reduced

platelet count or function 2 points for Rebleeding risk

Hypertension [uncontrolled] Anemia Genetic factors

Excessive fall risk [including neurodegenerative and

psychiatric disorders] and history of Stroke) schemes were

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

HEMORR2HAGES in predicting bleeding risk

but the HAS-BLED score is much simpler and

easier to use in everyday clinical practice

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

La valutazione del rischio cardioembolico durata della FA e fattori di

rischio embolico

Per quanto riguarda la durata della FA da studi che utilizzano la registrazione a lungo termine

fornita dai PM impiantati sappiamo che pazienti con periodi di FA superiori alle 24 ore

hanno un rischio embolico triplicato rispetto a pazienti senza FA o con

periodi piugrave brevi e che periodi di FA superiori a 5 minuti raddoppiano il

embolie pregresse diabete ipertensione il rischio di FA egrave di 31 volte se lrsquoaritmia dura piugrave di 24 ore

Un recente studio di Botto utilizzante come metodo di registrazione la memoria del PM (568 pazienti con

malattia del nodo del seno impiantati con un PM-DDDR 25 di eventi tromboembolici a un follow up di

anno) combina la durata degli episodi (sintomatici o asintomatici) di FA con il punteggio di rischio CHADS2

questo studio ha identificato una popolazione a basso rischio tromboembolico (pazienti senza FA e con

punteggio CHADS2 fino a 2 con FA di durata da 5 minuti a 24 ore e CHADS2 0 o 1 o pazienti con FA della

durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS 0 rischio embolico 08 annuo) contrapposta a una popolazione ad

24 ore e con CHADS2 da 2 in su con FA della durata di oltre 24 ore e con CHADS2 da 1 in su rischio

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

In the nationwide Danish cohort the c-statistics for the

HAS-BLED and HEMORR2HAGES (Hepatic or renal failure

Ethanol abuse Malignancy Older [age gt75 years] Reduced

platelet count or function 2 points for Rebleeding risk

Hypertension [uncontrolled] Anemia Genetic factors

Excessive fall risk [including neurodegenerative and

psychiatric disorders] and history of Stroke) schemes were

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

HEMORR2HAGES in predicting bleeding risk

but the HAS-BLED score is much simpler and

easier to use in everyday clinical practice

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

Can stroke risk assessment be further refined

1 Assessment of AF burden

2 Echocardiography - transoesphageal echocardiography

3 Blood biomarkers

4 Renal (dys)function

5 Detailed cerebral imaging

However this would be at the cost of reduced simplicity and

practicality limiting its (immediate) quicklsquo use in everyday

clinical practice

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

However this would be at the cost of reduced simplicity and

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

In the nationwide Danish cohort the c-statistics for the

HAS-BLED and HEMORR2HAGES (Hepatic or renal failure

Ethanol abuse Malignancy Older [age gt75 years] Reduced

platelet count or function 2 points for Rebleeding risk

Hypertension [uncontrolled] Anemia Genetic factors

Excessive fall risk [including neurodegenerative and

psychiatric disorders] and history of Stroke) schemes were

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

HEMORR2HAGES in predicting bleeding risk

but the HAS-BLED score is much simpler and

easier to use in everyday clinical practice

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

A further large validation study was performed in a United Kingdom cohort

of 79884 AF patients aged ge18 years in the UK General Practice

Research Database who were followed for an average of 4 years

Again low-risk subjects (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 0) were truly low risk

(with annual stroke events lt05) with the CHA2DS2-VASc score

In an analysis of the Stroke Prevention Using Oral Thrombin Inhibitor in

Atrial Fibrillation (SPORTIF) trial population an anticoagulated AF

cohort (N = 7329 subjects) the CHA2DS2-VASc scheme correctly

identified the greatest proportion of AF patients at high risk and the

negative predictive value (ie the percent categorized as not high

risklsquolsquo actually being free from thromboembolism) for CHA2DS2-VASc

was 995

Notwithstanding the above comments all the published stroke risk

scores (including CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) are not very useful

in the elderly with only limited ability to predict the risk of stroke

Conclusions

All the schemes studied had a similar limited ability to predict the risk of

stroke With the exception of the original CHADS2 their performance is

better than chance though further development is required to improve

the accuracy of the tools in older people and it might be better to

pragmatically recommend that clinicians classify all

patients over 75 as high risk and offer oral anticoagulation

for these patients until better tools are available

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

HAS-BLED and HEMORR2HAGES (Hepatic or renal failure

psychiatric disorders] and history of Stroke) schemes were

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

HEMORR2HAGES in predicting bleeding risk

easier to use in everyday clinical practice

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

Do We Need to Take the Risk of Bleeding into

Account and How Is This Quantified

Risk factors for bleeding on OAC have been identified from

general anticoagulated cohorts but few bleeding risk

assessment tools have been derived and validated in AF

populations

Many risk factors for anticoagulation-related bleeding are

also risk factors for stroke in AF patients

Older bleeding risk tools were also complicated and difficult to

use in everyday clinical practice

Thus many prior guidelines have avoided formal

recommendation of bleeding risk assessment using a specific

bleeding risk score in AF patients

Conclusions

In patients with AF receiving

anticoagulant therapy the HAS-

BLED score shows significantly

better prediction ability than the

weighted (and slightly more

complex) ATRIA score Our findings

reinforce the incremental usefulness

of the HAS-BLED score over other

bleeding risk scores in patients with

AF

In the nationwide Danish cohort the c-statistics for the

HAS-BLED and HEMORR2HAGES (Hepatic or renal failure

Ethanol abuse Malignancy Older [age gt75 years] Reduced

psychiatric disorders] and history of Stroke) schemes were

0795 (0759ndash0829) and 0771 (0733ndash0806) respectively

with comparable results found in AF patients not

receiving OAC

the HAS-BLED score performed similar to

HEMORR2HAGES in predicting bleeding risk

but the HAS-BLED score is much simpler and

easier to use in everyday clinical practice

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

How should we use this bleeding risk

score

In the ESC guidelines a HAS-BLED score of ge3 represents a

sufficiently high risk such that caution andor regular

review of a patient is needed

It also makes the clinician think of correctable common

bleeding risk factors eg improving blood pressure control and

labile INRs would reduce points on the HAS-BLED score

The availability of such a score allows informed decisions

when deciding whether to use a low-dose or high-dose

regime of new OACs such as dabigatran

In the net clinical benefit analysismdashbalancing ischaemic

stroke against intracranial bleedingmdashby Olesen et al

those patients with a high HAS-BLED score had an even

greater net clinical benefit with warfarin given that the

higher-risk individuals would have a much greater

absolute reduction in stroke risk with warfarin which

would outweigh the small absolute increase in major

bleeding events

Similar observations were reported in a much larger dataset

by Friberg et al where the adjusted net clinical benefit

favoured anticoagulation for almost all AF patients with

the exception of patients at very low risk of ischaemic

stroke with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and moderatendash
