The diagnosis and clinical management of the catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: A comprehensive review

Cervera, Ricard, Rodríguez-Pintó, Ignasi, Espinosa, Gerard·2018·Journal of Autoimmunity

Abstract

The catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a life-threating variant of the antiphospholipid syndrome characterized by the development of multiple thrombosis in a short period of time, usually ending up in the failure of function of several vital organs. Most CAPS episodes are related to a prothrombotic situation or precipitating factor such as infections, surgical procedures or malignant diseases. In patients with CAPS, the development of multiple thrombosis leads to an important cytokine release that worsens the already critical patient's situation. The disease usually involves the kidneys, the lungs and the heart, although any organ system can be affected. Although occasionally the disease affects large vessels, in the majority of cases it affects small vessels, leading to a disseminated microangiopathic syndrome resembling thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Treatment is based on the administration of anticoagulants, corticosteroids, plasma exchange and/or intravenous immunoglobulins. Cyclophosphamide is recommended in those CAPS cases associated to systemic lupus erythematosus. Additionally, rituximab and eculizumab have been used in refractory cases. Mortality is still around 30% despite current treatment.

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.
