This systematic review focused the high bleeding-risk category of commonly used risk scores in AF. Our main findings were as follows: (1) Overall HAS-BLED, HEMORR2HAGES and ATRIA are not sensitive methods to predict major bleeding; (2) HAS-BLED was the most sensitive risk score for high bleeding-risk category; and (3) HEMORR2HAGES has a high diagnostic accuracy mainly due to the high specificity, but it is not easy to use it fast.
