Interpretation of the HAS-BLED Score
A score of 3 or more indicates an increased one year bleed risk on anticoagulation which would be sufficient to justify caution or more frequent evaluation. The risk is the risk of an intracranial bleed, bleeding requiring hospitalization or a hemoglobin drop > 2g/L or a bleeding episode that requires transfusion.
