The HATCH score demonstrated a significantly higher predictive ability for all-cause mortality (AUROC 0.6618) compared to the HAVOC (0.5733) and CHA2DS2-VASc (0.6423) scores in patients with AF.

Does the HATCH score improve all-cause mortality prediction compared to HAVOC and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in patients with atrial fibrillation?
The HATCH score demonstrates superior predictive ability for all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation compared to the HAVOC and CHA2DS2-VASc scores.
Effect estimate: AUROC 0.6618
p-value: p=<0.001
OBJECTIVE: This study focused on the predictive ability of the 3 scores for all-cause mortality in 6444 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS: To assess the predictive accuracy of risk of death modelled by HATCH, HAVOC and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, the area under the curve of receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) was applied. RESULTS: Over follow-up time, the cumulative incidence of death was clearly associated with the three scores (log-rank test, p<0.001). The AUROC for the HATCH (0.6618) was significantly higher than HAVOC Score (0.5733) and CHA2DS2-VAScs Score (0.6423). CONCLUSIONS: HATCH score has better ability in predicting mortality in comparison to other two scores in patients with AF.
Hu et al. (Mon,) conducted a observational in atrial fibrillation (n=6,444). HATCH score vs. HAVOC and CHA2DS2-VASc scores was evaluated on all-cause mortality (AUROC 0.6618, p=<0.001). The HATCH score demonstrated a significantly higher predictive ability for all-cause mortality (AUROC 0.6618) compared to the HAVOC (0.5733) and CHA2DS2-VASc (0.6423) scores in patients with AF.
