Abbreviations: INR, international normalized ratio; IQR, interquartile range; SD, standard deviation.

a

Creatinine clearance estimated according to the Cockcroft–Gault formula.

b

If >1 primary indication for anticoagulation recorded: if atrial fibrillation was present, this was listed as the primary indication; if present, venous thromboembolism was considered primary in the remaining patients.

c

Venous thromboembolism refers to prevention or treatment of deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

d

Reported for patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. The CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score ranges from 0 to 9 (congestive heart failure [1], hypertension [1], age ≥75 years [2], diabetes [1], prior stroke or transient ischemic attack [2], vascular disease [1], age 65–74 years [1], female sex [1]). A modified HAS-BLED score is reported, ranging from 0 to 7 (hypertension [systolic blood pressure >160 mm Hg at baseline [1], abnormal kidney function [1], abnormal liver function [1], prior stroke [1], bleeding history [not including the qualifying bleeding event] or anemia [1], age >65 years [1], concomitant use of antiplatelet agents or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [1]). As opposed to the original HAS-BLED score, the categories labile INR (not applicable) and alcohol use (data not available) were not considered.

e

Denominators for percentage with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage are all patients with any intracranial hemorrhage.
