R ₂ eD AVM Score

eD AVM). Results- In 755 patients with complete data, 272 (36%) presented with hemorrhage. From the training data set, a model was derived containing the following risk factors: nonwhite race (odds ratio [OR]=1.8; P=0.02), small nidus size (OR=1.47; P=0.14), deep location (OR=2.3; P<0.01), single arterial feeder (OR=2.24; P<0.01), and exclusive deep venous drainage (OR=2.07; P=0.02). Area under the curve from receiver operating curve analysis was 0.702, 0.698, and 0.685 for the training, validation, and complete data sets, respectively. In the entire study population, the predicted probability of hemorrhagic presentation increased in a stepwise manner from 16% for patients with no risk factors (score of 0) to 78% for patients having all the risk factors (score of 6). Conclusions- The final model derived from this study can be used as a predictive tool that supplements clinical judgment and aids in patient counseling.
