Comparison of CHA2DS2-VASc, CHADS2 and HATCH scores for the prediction of new-onset atrial fibrillation in cancer patients: A nationwide cohort study of 760,339 study participants with competing risk analysis

The current study is the first to assess the prognostic value of 3 AF risk scores (CHA2DS2-VASc, CHADS2 and HATCH scores) in patients with newly-diagnosed cancer. HATCH score was found to have a slightly but significantly better predictive performance than the other 2 scores.
