Summary
This study tests whether using a personalized risk score (ABC-score) to guide treatment can lower the chance of stroke or death in people with atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem. About 3,900 participants were randomly assigned to either receive care guided by this score or standard care. The goal is to see if tailoring blood thinner and other treatments based on individual risk improves outcomes.
