Predictive role of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores on stroke and thromboembolism in patients without atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Though having good diagnostic accuracy, the clinical application of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in predicting risk of stroke development in non-AF patients still needs further validation. Key message The overall diagnostic accuracy of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc in stroke-risk stratification was good in patients with non-atrial fibrillation.
