Usefulness of the CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED Scores in Predicting the Risk of Stroke Versus Intracranial Bleeding in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (from the FibStroke Study)
CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores stratify the risk of thromboembolic and bleeding events respectively in patients with atrial fibrillation. There is only little information on how they differentiate which of the 2 clinically most important complications (ischemic stroke [IS] or an intracranial bleeding [IB]) the patient is more prone to suffer. We evaluated both scores in patients with either of these major complications. The FibStroke Study collected data on all patients with atrial fibrillation with either an IS or an IB event between 2003 and 2012 in 4 Finnish hospital districts.

Anticoagulation therapy among patients presenting to the emergency department with symptomatic atrial fibrillation – the FinFib2 study
Conclusion: These data showed that OAC was prescribed frequently to patients with symptomatic AF and risk factors for stroke. However, in patients using warfarin, international normalized ratio was not at the therapeutic level in a large proportion of the patients with previously diagnosed AF.
