Box 2 in which a calculation for risk of major bleed is calculated
suggests at the end it is providing the risk of a stroke. Suspect this is
an error. Also the creatinine threshold is given in non-SI units. I
presume >133Umol/l is a reasonable equivalent?
This is a really useful calculation mind you since I find many
patients reticent in starting warfarin, not least because of the
monitoring's impact on their ability to travel.
