2. Baseline characteristics of patients with & without major bleed

3. Risk factors for major bleeding by univariate & multivariate analyses

4. Comparison of published bleeding risk schemas in patients taking warfarin, the whole cohort & warfarin-naïve patients

5. Conclusion
Diabetes mellitus & LV dysfunction were identified as additional potential risk factors for bleeding in AF
Of the 5 bleeding risk schema evaluated, the simple HAS-BLED schema offers an improvement in predictive ability for bleeding over previously published schema
