Please tick all answers that reflect your views on stroke risk assessment in critically ill patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation: Bar Response %
I do not use stroke risk scores routinely in critically ill patients with new onset AF to assess the need for anti-coagulation graphic file with name peerj-05-3716-i013.jpg 246 67.96%
I regularly calculate a risk score (e.g., CHAD2, CHA2DS2-VASc) to assess the need for anti-coagulation graphic file with name peerj-05-3716-i014.jpg 39 10.77%
Stroke risk scores inaccurately reflect the risk of embolic events in critically ill patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation due to prothrombotic changes associated with critical illness graphic file with name peerj-05-3716-i015.jpg 112 30.94%
Stroke risk scores favour anti-coagulation despite a higher risk of bleeding in critical illness graphic file with name peerj-05-3716-i016.jpg 73 20.17%
