This indicator covers the percentage of patients with atrial fibrillation, currently treated with an anticoagulant, who have had a review in the preceding 12 months which included: assessment of stroke/VTE risk; assessment of bleeding risk; assessment of renal function, creatinine clearance, FBC and LFTs as appropriate for their anticoagulation therapy; any adverse effects related to anticoagulation; assessment of compliance; choice of anticoagulant. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM147

Sickle cell disease: managing acute painful episodes in hospital (CG143)
This guideline covers managing acute painful sickle cell episodes in children, young people and adults who present at hospital, from presentation until when they are discharged. It aims to reduce variation in how acute episodes are managed in hospital, focusing on effective, prompt and safe pain relief.
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with type 1 diabetes who are aged over 40 years currently treated with a statin. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM142
This indicator covers the proportion of adults with a diagnosis of diabetes who have a recording of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and/or end stage kidney disease.

Angina and coronary heart disease: anti-platelet or anticoagulation (IND132)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with coronary heart disease with a record in the preceding 12 months that aspirin, an alternative anti-platelet therapy, or an anti-coagulant is being taken. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM88.
Rheumatoid arthritis: cardiovascular risk assessment (IND108)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) aged 30 to 84 years who have had a cardiovascular risk assessment using a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment tool adjusted for RA in the preceding 15 months. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM56
Evidence-based recommendations on thoracoscopic exclusion of the left atrial appendage in atrial fibrillation (with or without other cardiac surgery) for the prevention of thromboembolism. This involves inserting a camera and instruments through small cuts in the chest and closing the left atrial appendage.
