Abbreviations: AMI, acute myocardial infarction; GIH, gastrointestinal hemorrhage; MH, major hemorrhage.

a

CHA2DS2-VASc score ranges from 0 to 9; higher scores indicate higher risk of stroke, transient ischemic attack, or embolism. Category ranges are low (0-3), moderate (4-5), and high (≥6).

b

HAS-BLED score ranges from 0 to 9; higher scores indicate higher bleeding risk. Category ranges are low (0-1), moderate (2), or high (≥3).

c

Gagne multicomorbidity score ranges from 0 to 24; higher scores indicate higher risk of death. Category ranges are low (0-2), moderate (3-4), or high (≥5).
