Stroke risk stratifications according to CHA2DS2-VASc vs. CHA2DS2-VA in patients with atrial fibrillation: insights from the GLORIA-AF registry.
Aims: Whether the adoption of CHA2DS2-VA score, the sex-independent version of the CHA2DS2-VASc score is beneficial for stratifying risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial.
Methods and results: Utilizing the data from the global, multicentre and prospective GLORIA-AF Registry Phase III, we compared the performances of CHA2DS2-VA and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in stratifying the risk of ischaemic stroke and thromboembolism (TE), and compared the risk of ischaemic stroke and TE, and the use of oral anticoagulants in male and female patients with AF. A total of 21 260 AF patients with available data were included in the analysis (mean age 70.2 ± 10.3 years, 44.9% female). Overall, female patients were less likely prescribed with oral anticoagulant (OAC) compared with males [odds ratio: 0.90, 95%confidence interval [CI]: (0.83-0.97)]. A significant interaction (P < 0.001) between sex and age was observed, with a lower likelihood of receiving OAC among younger female patients.The risk of ischaemic stroke [hazard ratio (HR):1.14, 95%CI: (0.85-1.53)] and TE [HR: 1.02, 95%CI: (0.82-1.26)] was similar between male and female patients, and the predictive ability of the two scores was similar for both outcomes: TE [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC): 0.641, 95%CI: (0.585-0.697) vs. AUC: 0.636, 95%CI: (0.580-0.692); P = 0.593] and ischaemic stroke [AUC: 0.660, (95%CI: 0.582-0.739) vs. AUC: 0.646, (95%CI: 0.568-0.725); P = 0.847]. There was a possible interaction between sex and age observed, with a higher risk of TE in younger female patients (P = 0.051).
Conclusion: CHA2DS2-VA score had similar predictive performance for thromboembolic events compared with CHA2DS2-VASc score. The role of female sex in the management and outcomes of patients with AF may differ according to age. Whether the omission of the female criterion from CHA2DS2-VA would lead to less OAC use in female AF patients over the next years remains to be seen.
期刊介绍:
The European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy (EHJ-CVP) is an international, peer-reviewed journal published in English, specifically dedicated to clinical cardiovascular pharmacology. EHJ-CVP publishes original articles focusing on clinical research involving both new and established drugs and methods, along with meta-analyses and topical reviews. The journal's primary aim is to enhance the pharmacological treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease by interpreting and integrating new scientific developments in this field.
While the emphasis is on clinical topics, EHJ-CVP also considers basic research articles from fields such as physiology and molecular biology that contribute to the understanding of cardiovascular drug therapy. These may include articles related to new drug development and evaluation, the physiological and pharmacological basis of drug action, metabolism, drug interactions, and side effects.
