Background:

• Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases stroke risk, necessitating anticoagulation therapy.
• Anticoagulants raise bleeding risk, requiring accurate bleeding risk stratification.
• Traditional bleeding risk scores show suboptimal performance in diverse AF populations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review machine learning (ML) applications for bleeding risk prediction in AF patients.
• To explore ML's role in optimizing anticoagulation therapy and warfarin management.
• To highlight the potential of ML in enhancing patient safety and treatment efficacy.

Main Methods:

• Review of recent advancements in ML for bleeding risk prediction.
• Analysis of ML-based bleeding risk scores in AF patients.
• Examination of ML applications in warfarin dose prediction and interaction identification.

Main Results:

• ML models demonstrate superior predictive performance compared to traditional bleeding risk scores.
• ML leverages complex datasets to identify nuanced patterns in bleeding risk.
• ML-driven tools show potential for improved warfarin management and patient safety.

Conclusions:

• Machine learning offers significant advancements in predicting bleeding risk for AF patients.
• ML-based tools can optimize anticoagulation therapy, improving patient outcomes.
• Further development and validation of ML applications are crucial for clinical practice.
