Bleeding Complications Associated with Warfarin Treatment in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Conclusions: Our findings indicate high lifetime bleeding risk associated with warfarin treatment for patients with ischemic stroke. Risk stratification scores are useful to identify patients at high risk of developing bleeding complications and should be recalculated at regular intervals to evaluate the bleeding risk in anticoagulated patients with ischemic stroke.
