Can Patients at Elevated Risk of Stroke Treated With Anticoagulants Be Further Risk Stratified?
Stroke 38:2459-2463,2409, Baruch,L.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In a large cohort of atrial fibrillation patients at a moderate or high risk of ischemic stroke treated with warfarin or ximelagatran, the CHADS2, SPAF, and Framingham schemes had greater predictive accuracy than chance. This predictive ability may allow clinicians to target high-risk patients for more aggressive intervention.
