Purpose
[Name of the Score] is a (risk assessment tool/risk stratification scheme) designed to assess the (30-day/5-year) risk of (bleeding/ischemia/other endpoints) associated with (antiplatelet/antithrombotic/other treatment) among patients with (coronary heart disease/heart failure/other conditions).

[Name of the Score] is a (decision tool) designed to assist the decision-making pertaining to the (risk/benefit) of (antiplatelet/antithrombotic/other treatment) for (acute coronary syndrome/other conditions) among (hospitalized patients/healthy individuals/other population).
Components
[Name of the Score] consists of (number) parameters including clinical variables (age/sex/weight/creatinine clearance/past history/clinical presentation), laboratory values (WBC/hemoglobin/platelet), and imaging findings (diffuse pulmonary infiltrates/prolonged QT interval).
Interpretation
- Score ≤1: low-risk (<1% mortality); no treatment or hospital admission is required.
- Score 2–3: intermediate-risk (1 to 5% mortality); consider treatment or hospitalization.
- Score ≥4: high-risk (>5% mortality); treatment/hospitalization is warranted.
