GARFIELD-AF Risk Model Calculator

GARFIELD-AF Risk Model: Explanation and Clinical Context The GARFIELD-AF Risk Model is a validated clinical tool derived from the Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD–Atrial Fibrillation, which captures real-world data on patients with atrial fibrillation worldwide. This model provides individualized predictions for three critical outcomes: ischemic stroke/systemic embolism, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality. It integrates key patient variables including age, gender, comorbidities (hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, vascular disease, renal and liver impairment), history of stroke/TIA, and current antiplatelet therapy.

Unlike simpler scores, GARFIELD-AF enables a more comprehensive assessment of risk-benefit when considering anticoagulation therapy, allowing clinicians to optimize treatment strategies based on both thromboembolic and bleeding risk.
