Figure 1. Your Values for: Major Bleeding While Taking Blood Thinning Treatment.

Figure 1

The panel to the left describes Physical Symptoms, Treatment, and Recovery that can be expected following a major gastrointestinal bleed. The panel to the right shows a visual analog rating scale used to assess a patient’s quality of life following a hypothetical major bleed. The top portion of the panel demonstrates an example, while the bottom portion of the panel is used to obtain a patient’s personalized assessment for quality of life following a major bleed. In order to assist with numeracy, emoticons are also used to describe the zero to one hundred numerical scale.
