Perceptions and knowledge gaps on CHA < sub > 2 < /sub > DS < sub > 2 < /sub > -VASc score components: a joint survey of Chinese clinicians and clinical pharmacists

CONCLUSIONS: Chinese medical professionals, especially EPs and GPs, revealed a lack of knowledge and insufficient skills for CHA2DS2-VASc scores and their components. Improvements in the awareness of the CHA2DS2-VASc score and its detailed scoring criteria are urgently needed for Chinese medical professionals. Therefore, education programs concerning the introduction of stroke risk evaluation for AF patients and the development of referencing scoring tools are necessary.PMID:34694951 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2021.1996815
