**15. I am treating the patient with OAC. Do I cause a bleed in the patient?**

Yes, there is a risk of bleeding. HAS-BLED score is the best tool developed for this (**Table 7**). This term acronym consists of the initials of the criteria 'Hypertension, Abnormal liver/renal function, Stroke history, Bleeding predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly, Drug/alcohol usage'.
