🫁 PE-SARD Bleeding Score
UseWhen to use: acute PE when balancing anticoagulation/thrombolysis vs bleed risk.
Strata0 low; 1–2.5 intermediate; >2.5 high early in-hospital major-bleed band.
LimitsWhen not to use: as sole reason to withhold indicated anticoagulation. · Pitfall: weak external performance in some older cohorts. · Pair with VTE-BLEED / RIETE.

How it works
Syncope +1.5, Hb <12 g/dL +2.5, eGFR <60 +1 (0–5).
Key points
- Three items.
- >2.5 high bleed cue.
- Next: bleed mitigation / reperfusion choice.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Syncope | No (0) |
|---|---|
| Anemia (Hb <12 g/dL) | No (0) |
| Renal dysfunction (eGFR <60 mL/min) | No (0) |
→PE-SARD0/5
- Band：0 — low early major-bleed band in derivation
| Syncope | Yes (+1.5) |
|---|---|
| Anemia (Hb <12 g/dL) | Yes (+2.5) |
| Renal dysfunction (eGFR <60 mL/min) | Yes (+1) |
→PE-SARD5/5
- Band：>2.5 — high early major-bleed band

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does PE-SARD Bleeding Score upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is PE-SARD Bleeding Score calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Syncope No (0), Anemia (Hb <12 g/dL) No (0), Renal dysfunction (eGFR <60 mL/min) No (0) → Result: PE-SARD 0 /5（Band: 0 — low early major-bleed band in derivation） Inputs: Syncope Yes (+1.5), Anemia (Hb <12 g/dL) Yes (+2.5), Renal dysfunction (eGFR <60 mL/min) Yes (+1) → Result: PE-SARD 5 /5（Band: >2.5 — high early major-bleed band）
