DOAC Score for Bleeding Risk

Description

Calculates the DOAC Score to estimate the risk of major bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation taking Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs). This score was derived specifically for DOAC users, distinguishing it from HAS-BLED which was derived for Warfarin.

Usage

doac_bleeding_risk(age, criteria_count_gt_1, creatinine_clearance_ml_min,
                   prior_bleeding, hypertension, nsaids_antiplatelets,
                   cirrhosis_history, history_stroke, prior_major_bleeding,
                   extreme_body_weight)

Arguments

age	Numeric. Patient age in years. (65-74: +1 pt; >=75: +2 pts).
criteria_count_gt_1	Numeric (0 or 1). Does the patient meet criteria for having >1 comorbid condition (e.g., diabetes, stroke, etc.)? (1 = Yes, +2 pts). (Note: This input simplifies a complex comorbidity count often used in the original derivation).
creatinine_clearance_ml_min	Numeric. Creatinine Clearance (CrCl). (< 60 mL/min adds +1 pt).
prior_bleeding	Numeric (0 or 1). History of any prior bleeding event (minor or major). (1 = Yes, +2 pts).
hypertension	Numeric (0 or 1). History of Hypertension. (1 = Yes, +1 pt).
nsaids_antiplatelets	Numeric (0 or 1). Concomitant use of NSAIDs or Antiplatelets. (1 = Yes, +1 pt).
cirrhosis_history	Numeric (0 or 1). History of Liver Cirrhosis. (1 = Yes, +1 pt).
history_stroke	Numeric (0 or 1). History of Stroke/TIA. (1 = Yes, +1 pt).
prior_major_bleeding	Numeric (0 or 1). History of Major Bleeding specifically. (1 = Yes, +1 pt).
extreme_body_weight	Numeric (0 or 1). Extreme body weight (<50kg or >100kg). (1 = Yes, +1 pt).

Value

A list containing:

DOAC_Score	The calculated risk score.
Risk_Category	Classification (Low <=3, Moderate 4-7, High >=8).

Examples

# Example 1: Moderate Risk
# Age 70 (+1), CrCl 50 (+1), HTN (+1), NSAIDs (+1)
# Score = 4

# Example 2: High Risk
# Age 80 (+2), Prior Bleed (+2), Major Bleed (+1), Stroke (+1), Wt<50 (+1), CrCl 40 (+1)
# Score = 8
doac_bleeding_risk(80, 0, 40, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1)
