Predicting thromboembolic and bleeding event risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a systematic review.
This systematic review compared the strength of tools to predict stroke and bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) taking blood thinners. Sixty-one studies were found to predict thromboembolic risk and 38 to predict bleeding risk.

A simple prediction score for developing a hospital-acquired infection after acute ischemic stroke.
The authors sought to develop a simple scoring system for any hospital-acquired infection (HAI). Ranging from 0 to 7, the overall infection score consists of age 70 years or more, history of diabetes, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score. Patients with an infection score of 4 or more were at 5 times greater odds of developing an infection. They concluded that, if validated in other populations, this score could assist providers in predicting infections after ischemic stroke.
