Identifying SNOMED Concepts Relevant to CHA 2DS 2-VASc and HAS-BLED Scores
نویسندگان
چکیده
• 106 unique concepts identified • 13 (12%) of were common to both clinicians. • Including the descendants, the intersection was just over 47%. We believe this is a more useful measure of the intersection, since including a parent and child concept deserves much less of a penalty than including entirely incorrect concepts. • GF selected 36 concepts which EA did not including descendants only added 42 concepts to the total, while the 57 which EA selected that GF did not added 5,862. • The final consensus included 47 concepts, indicating a rather large amount of culling during arbitration was performed. Discussion There were 59 total exclusions. Decisions about the correctness of concept selections were made along the following lines: • ancestor concept already having been identified e.g., congestive heart failure is a child of heart failure in SNOMED CT • low probability of indicating the criteria Endocrinologist for the renal disease category Respiratory crackles for the congestive heart failure category • The remaining concepts were too broad and required clinical decisions about whether to include them or not e.g., include Chronic liver disease instead of Disorder of liver, since scales are concerned with long-term effects, rather than short-lived diseases of which there are many under Disorder of liver.

Results from the Registry of Atrial Fibrillation (AFABE): Gap between Undiagnosed and Registered Atrial Fibrillation in Adults—Ineffectiveness of Oral Anticoagulation Treatment with VKA
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) medication, recommended by national guidelines for stroke prevention but reportedly underused in AF patients with moderate to high stroke risk. METHOD A multicentre and cross-sectional study of undiagnosed AF among out-of-hospital patients over 60 years old was carried out, visiting 3,638 patients...
متن کاملUse of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc Scores to Predict Subsequent Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Death in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: Data from Taiwan Acute Coronary Syndrome Full Spectrum Registry
BACKGROUND Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients have a wide spectrum of risks for subsequent cardiovascular events and death. However, there is no simple, convenience scoring system to identify risk of adverse outcomes. We investigated whether CHADS₂ and CHA₂DS₂-VASc scores were useful tools to assess the risk for adverse events among ACS patients. METHODS This observational prospective stu...
متن کاملCan we predict stroke in atrial fibrillation?
Stroke prevention with appropriate thromboprophylaxis still remains central to the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Nonetheless, stroke risk in AF is not homogeneous, but despite stroke risk in AF being a continuum, prior stroke risk stratification schema have been used to 'artificially' categorise patients into low, moderate and high risk stroke strata, so that the patients at highest r...
متن کاملShould Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and 1 Stroke Risk Factor (CHA2DS2-VASc Score 1 in Men, 2 in Women) Be Anticoagulated? Yes: Even 1 Stroke Risk Factor Confers a Real Risk of Stroke.
Although all clinical scores have modest predictive value for high-risk patients who sustain events, the CHA 2 DS 2 VASc score is clearly superior in identifying low-risk patients with thromboembolism rates <1%/y who do not need any antithrombotic therapy. Evidence of benefit from oral anticoagulation (OAC) treatment exists for reducing stroke and mortality even in the presence of 1 additional ...

BACKGROUND Anticoagulation therapy is followed by analysis of factors used in the CHA2DS2-VASc score and assessing the risk of bleeding (HAS-BLED). THE AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the study was to evaluate in 'real life' risk stratification scores in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). MATERIAL AND METHODS From 81 consecutive patients who had not yet received anticoagulation, 68 were fina...
