Variable | Level | Points |
Sex | Female | 0 |
Male | 7 | |
Anaemia (male: Hb <13 g/dL, female: HB <12 g/dL) | No | 0 |
Yes | 6 | |
Thrombocytopaenia | Normal/mild | 0 |
Moderate/severe (<99×103/µL) | 9 | |
Concurrent antiplatelet therapy | No | 0 |
Yes | 7 | |
Hypertension | No | 0 |
Yes | 8 | |
Prior major bleeding | No | 0 |
Yes | 5 | |
Known fall risk (dementia, Parkinson’s disease, gait problem, prior fall, hip fracture) | No | 0 |
Yes | 4 | |
Serum cholesterol (mg/dL) | ≥240 | 0 |
200–239 | 1 | |
160–199 | 2 | |
<160 | 5 | |
eGFR (mL/min) | ≥90 | 0 |
60–89 | 4 | |
30–59 | 6 | |
≤29 | 8 |
*The points from each variable must be added up to obtain the total risk score.
eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; NOACs, new oral anticoagulants .
