The ABC Bleeding risk score

Evidencio uses JavaScript for many of its features. Please enable JavaScript to enable calculations

The ABC (Age, Biomarkers, Clinical history) bleeding risk score has been developed to predict the risk of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation. The ABC bleeding risk score is internally and externally validated using two clinical trial databases.

This model is intended to be used for patients who have been diagnosed with either paroxysmal, persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and with at least one or more of the risk factors. The full inclusion and exclusion criteria are stated in the intended use.

Conditional information

The current model calculates the risk of bleeding occurring within the next one, two, or three years. Even though the tool may support decision involving the initiation of anticoagulant treatment, a high bleeding risk alone should not immediately lead to withholding anticoagulation.

The ABC bleeding risk score was externally validated and compared head-to-head with similar prediction models such as the HAS-BLED score. The external validation of the ABC score resulted in a c-index of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.66 - 0.71) versus 0.62 (95% CI: 0.60 - 0.64) for the HAS-BLED score.

Depending on the selected biomarker, the model may perform slightly different. Still, all possible combinations of biomarkers resulted in similar model performance in terms of discrimination with C-indexes ranging between 0.68 and 0.71 on internal validation. Each of the six ABC bleeding risk score models performed better than the HAS-BLED score.

Study characteristics

Additional information

The ABC Bleeding risk score was developed using data from two trials. Data from the ARISTOTLE trial, and the RE-LY trial were used.

The data shown here concern the characteristics of the ARISTOTLE trial, which was used as derivation cohort.

The ABC Bleeding risk score has been developed and validated by Hijazi et al. and was externally validated and compared to the HAS-BLED score by Berg et al. The ABC-bleeding score outperformed the HAS-BLED score in the external validation studies

To further assess the impact of the ABC risk models, a trial is currently ongoing (NCT03753490)
