Overview

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]

Interpretation of the HAS-BLED Score for Bleeding

  • 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)
