CHA2DS2-VASc modestly predicts ischemic stroke, thromboembolism, death in heart failure patients
The observation that the risk factors included in the score are particularly significant among heart failure patients without atrial fibrillation is an important result, study authors said.

Studies estimate risks of bleeding, death in patients with cancer and atrial fibrillation
One recent study compared the predictive value of the HAS-BLED, ATRIA, and ORBIT scores in patients with cancer and afib, while another looked at clot, bleeding, and mortality risk with warfarin versus a direct-acting oral anticoagulant in patients with both conditions.

Cystatin C improves accuracy in calculations of Black patients' kidney function
Equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate more accurately predict risk of kidney failure and mortality in Black patients if they include both creatinine and cystatin C, but not race, according to a new retrospective study.
