Description

Aids physicians calculate the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Usage

CHADSVASc(
  CHF = "yes", 
  HTN = "yes", 
  Age = 75, 
  DM = "yes", 
  Stroke = "yes",
  Vascular = "yes", 
  sex = "female"
)

Arguments

CHF	Accepts a string value. The value should be 'yes' if the patient has congestive heart failure or 'no' if the patient does not have congestive heart failure. Please use lower case.
HTN	Accepts a string value. The value should be 'yes' if the patient has hypertension or 'no' if the patient does not have hypertension. Please use lower case.
Age	Accepts a numerical or integer value. The value should be between 1-120, but technically, any value is accepted.
DM	Accepts a string value. The value should be 'yes' if the patient has diabetes or 'no' if the patient does not have diabetes. Please use lower case.
Stroke	Accepts a string value. The value should be 'yes' if the patient has had a stroke in the past or 'no' if the patient has not had a stroke in the past. Please use lower case.

The output is an integer value from 0-9 that corresponds to the CHAD-VASC score. Please follow this link to understand the risk asociated with the CHAD-VASC score.
