The current model calculates the risk of bleeding occurring within the next one, two, or three years. Even though the tool may support decision involving the initiation of anticoagulant treatment, a high bleeding risk alone should not immediately lead to withholding anticoagulation.
The ABC bleeding risk score was externally validated and compared head-to-head with similar prediction models such as the HAS-BLED score. The external validation of the ABC score resulted in a c-index of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.66 - 0.71) versus 0.62 (95% CI: 0.60 - 0.64) for the HAS-BLED score.
Depending on the selected biomarker, the model may perform slightly different. Still, all possible combinations of biomarkers resulted in similar model performance in terms of discrimination with C-indexes ranging between 0.68 and 0.71 on internal validation. Each of the six ABC bleeding risk score models performed better than the HAS-BLED score.
