Overview[edit | edit source]

The HAS-BLED score is a therapeutic bleeding risk stratification score for those on oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation^[1]. It is recommended by the new European Society of Cardiology guidelines and the Canadian guidelines on atrial fibrillation management.^[2]^[3] This score would help as a potential practical tool in clinical decision making, rather than 'guessing' the bleeding risk. Also, the HAS-BLED score makes clinicians think about addressing any correctable bleeding risk factors (eg. uncontrolled hypertension, coadministration of NSAIDs or aspirin, etc). It is matched to the CHA2DS2-VASc score used for stroke risk stratification. In a recent article validating the score, diabetes and left ventricular dysfunction were identified as additional risk factors for bleeding.^[4]

Calculation of the HAS-BLED Score for Bleeding[edit | edit source]

Please check the boxes that apply to your patient to calculate the HAS-BLED score for bleeding:

Interpretation of the HAS-BLED Score for Bleeding[edit | edit source]

0 Score: 1.13 bleeds per 100 patient-years
1 Score: 1.02 bleeds per 100 patient-years
2 Score: 1.88 bleeds per 100 patient-years
3 Score: 3.74 bleeds per 100 patient-years
4 Score: 8.70 bleeds per 100 patient-years
5 to 9 Score: Insufficient data (high risk)
