8 Bleeding Risk Factors Kirchhof P. Eur Heart J Oct 7;37(38): PMID: Markov Decision Analytic Model It is possible to calculate the number of falls that persons must have for warfarin to not be the optimal choice of therapy. Elderly persons who fall have a mean of 1.81 falls per year. Given that the risk of SDH must be 535-fold or greater for the risks of warfarin therapy to outweigh the benefits, persons taking warfarin must fall about 295 (535/1.81) times in 1 year for warfarin to not be the optimal therapy.

N Engl J Med Nov 28;369(22): PMID: ACC Guidelines (Class I) For patients with nonvalvular AF with prior stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or a CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score of 2 or greater, oral anticoagulants are recommended. Options include warfarin (INR 2.0 to 3.0) ( ) (Level of Evidence: A), dabigatran (177) (Level of Evidence: B), rivaroxaban (178) (Level of Evidence: B), or apixaban (179). (Level of Evidence: B) For patients with nonvalvular AF unable to maintain a therapeutic INR level with warfarin, use of a direct thrombin or factor Xa inhibitor (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, or apixaban) is recommended.

19 Would You Bridge with Therapeutic LMWH? 1. Yes 2. No ACCP Guidelines 2.4. In patients with a mechanical heart valve, atrial fibrillation, or VTE at high risk for thromboembolism, we suggest bridging anticoagulation instead of no bridging during interruption of VKA therapy (Grade 2C) In patients with a mechanical heart valve, atrial fibrillation, or VTE at low risk for thromboembolism, we suggest no bridging instead of bridging anticoagulation during interruption of VKA therapy (Grade 2C) In patients with a mechanical heart valve, atrial fibrillation, or VTE at moderate risk for thromboembolism, the bridging or no-bridging approach chosen is, as in the higher- and lower risk patients, based on an assessment of individual patient- and surgeryrelated factors Douketis JD.

Do not interrupt therapy with a VKA in: Patients undergoing procedures with: 1) no clinically important or low bleed risk; AND 2) absence of patient-related factor(s) that increase the risk of bleeding.

25 Whether to Interrupt Warfarin 2. Interrupt therapy with a VKA in: Patients undergoing procedures with intermediate or high bleed risk, OR Patients undergoing procedures with uncertain bleed risk and the presence of patient-related factor(s) that increase the risk of bleeding. 3. Consider interrupting a VKA on the basis of both clinical judgment and consultation with the proceduralist in: Patients undergoing procedures with: 1) no clinically important or low bleed risk AND 2) the presence of patient-related factor(s) that increase the risk of bleeding, OR Patients undergoing procedures with: 1) uncertain bleed risk AND 2) the absence of patient-related factor(s) that increase the risk of bleeding.
