HEMORR₂HAGES Score for Major Bleeding Risk

Quantifies risk of hemorrhage in elderly patients with Atrial Fibrillation. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Risks and benefits of anticoagulation should be carefully considered in ALL patients prior to initiating therapy.

• Other risk stratification scores such as HAS-BLED or ATRIA should also be taken into consideration prior to starting anticoagulation.

• Alternative options should often be considered in patients with high-risk of major bleeding events in need of anticoagulation.
