Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the risk of intracranial bleeding in patients undergoing anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism (VTE), emphasizing the risk persists beyond initial treatment.
- Researchers developed two phase-specific prognostic scores based on data from over 77,000 VTE patients, utilizing multivariable Cox regression to identify relevant risk factors.
- The new scores showed a c-statistic of 0.68, indicating they are more effective than existing models in predicting bleeding risks, potentially improving anticoagulation management and reducing mortality from bleeding.
Introduction: Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but also for bleeding. We previously derived a prognostic score including four variables (elevated D-dimer, elevated ferritin, critical illness, and therapeutic-dose anticoagulation) that identified those at increased risk for major bleeding.
Methods: We aimed to validate the score in a subsequent cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 receiving standard-, intermediate- or therapeutic doses of VTE prophylaxis.
