Traumatic and spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage in atrial fibrillation patients on warfarin

Conclusions A significant proportion of intracranial hemorrhages in anticoagulated AF patients were traumatic. Traumatic hemorrhages were predominantly SDHs and less often fatal when compared to spontaneous hemorrhages, which were mainly ICHs. Admission INR values as well as CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores were similar in patients with spontaneous and traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT02146040.
