Abstract
Objectives:
To provide an accurate, web-based tool for stratifying patients with atrial fibrillation to facilitate decisions on the potential benefits/risks of anticoagulation, based on mortality, stroke, and bleeding risks.
Design:
The new tool was developed, using stepwise regression, for all and then applied to lower risk patients. C-statistics were compared with CHA2DS2-VASc using 30-fold cross-validation to control for overfitting. External validation was undertaken in an independent dataset, ORBIT-AF.
Participants:
Data from 39,898 patients enrolled in the prospective GARFIELD-AF registry provided the basis for deriving and validating an integrated risk tool to predict stroke risk, mortality and bleeding risk.
Results:
The discriminatory value of the GARFIELD-AF risk model was superior to CHA2DS2-VASc for patients with or without anticoagulation. C-statistics (95% CI) for all-cause mortality, ischaemic stroke/systemic embolism and haemorrhagic stroke/major bleeding (treated patients) were: 0.77 (0.76-0.78), 0.69 (0.67-0.71) and 0.66 (0.62-0.69), respectively, for the GARFIELD-AF risk models, and 0.66 (0.64-0.67), 0.64 (0.61-0.66) and 0.64 (0.61-0.68), respectively, for CHA2DS2-VASc (or HAS-BLED for bleeding). In very low to low risk patients (CHA2DS2-VASc 0 or 1 [men] and 1 or 2 [women]), the CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED (for bleeding) scores offered weak discriminatory value for mortality, stroke/systemic embolism and major bleeding. C-statistics for the GARFIELD-AF risk tool were 0.69 (0.64-0.75), 0.65 (0.56-0.73) and 0.60 (0.47-0.73) for each end point respectively, versus 0.50 (0.45-0.55), 0.59 (0.50-0.67) and 0.55 (0.53-0.56) for CHA2DS2-VASc (or HAS-BLED for bleeding). Upon validation in the ORBIT-AF population, C statistics showed that the GARFIELD-AF risk tool was effective for predicting 1-yr all-cause mortality using the full and simplified model for all-cause mortality: C statistics 0.75 (0.73-0.77) and 0.75 (0.73-0.77), respectively; and for predicting for any stroke or systemic embolism over 1 year, C-statistic 0.68 (0.62-0.74).
Conclusions:
Performance of the GARFIELD-AF risk tool was superior to CHA2DS2-VASc in predicting stroke and mortality and superior to HAS-BLED for bleeding, overall and in lower risk patients. The GARFIELD-AF tool has the potential for incorporation in routine electronic systems, and for the first time, permits simultaneous evaluation of ischaemic stroke, mortality and bleeding risks.
