HAS-BLED score

Q: What is HAS-BLED score?


Answer:  The HAS-BLED score was developed as a practical risk score to estimate the 1-year risk for major bleeding in patients on anticoagulation (mostly coumadin) with atrial fibrillation. Risk progressively goes up as score goes up like score of 2 has risk of 4.1% in one validation study and 1.88 bleeds per 100 patient-years in another validation study. Likewise, score of 4 has risk of 8.9% in one validation study and 8.70 bleeds per 100 patient-years in another validation study.
