Abstract

Aim To evaluate the magnitude of venous and arterial thrombosis risk associated with antiphospholipid antibodies (APLs) in adults without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Case-control and cohort studies were selected from the MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases. Two investigators independently extracted data on study design, patient characteristics, venous and arterial events and exposure to APLs, including lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin (aCL), anti-β2 Glycoprotein I (β2GpI), anti-prothrombin (aPT), anti-phosphatidyl serine (aPS), and anti-phosphatidyl ethanolamine (aPE).Results 30 studies were included (16,441 patients). The odds ratio (OR) for venous thrombosis was 6.14 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.74-13.8) in LA-positive patients (5 studies, 1650 patients) and 1.46 (CI 1.06-2.03) in aCL-positive patients (12 studies, 5375 patients). None of the associations with more recently identified APLs was significant, but fewer studies were available. For arterial thrombosis, the OR for LA and aCL was 3.58 (CI 1.29-9.92) and 2.65 (CI 1.75-4.00) respectively. The associations between β2GpI, aPT and aPS and the risk of arterial thrombosis were also significant, the OR being 3.12 (CI 1.51-6.44), 2.95 (CI 1.31-6.66) and 6.00 (CI 3.07-11.7), respectively. Owing to the heterogeneity of cut-off values for each APL assay, we were unable to perform any sensitivity analysis to determine the optimal value. The presence of low-quality studies may have led to overestimation of the magnitude of the associations.Conclusions LA and aCL were significantly associated with an increased risk of thrombosis, especially arterial, in patients without SLE. Systematic thromboprophylaxis in high-risk patients with APL should be evaluated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
