Abstract 314: Impact of Spontaneous Bleeding Events on Health State Utility in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Results from the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 Trial [Session Title: Poster Session III]

CONCLUSION: Spontaneous bleeding events are associated with a negative impact on health state utility, with greatest immediate impact for major bleeds. Health state utility remains low 1 year after an ICH, but gradually returns to baseline 1-year after other major bleeding events. Future cost-effectiveness analysis of strategies to prevent stroke in AF should consider both the economic and health status impact of bleeding events to inform health care decision making.
