Risk factors for a first thrombotic event in antiphospholipid antibody carriers: a prospective multicentre follow-up study.
Open accessAbstract
Objectives To assess risk factors for a first thrombotic event in confirmed antiphospholipid (aPL) antibody carriers and to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic treatments.Methods Inclusion criteria were age 18-65 years, no history of thrombosis and two consecutive positive aPL results. Demographic, laboratory and clinical parameters were collected at enrolment, once a year during the follow-up and at the time of the thrombotic event, whenever that occurred.Results 258 subjects were prospectively observed between October 2004 and October 2008. The mean ± SD follow-up was 35.0 ± 11.9 months (range 1-48). A first thrombotic event (9 venous, 4 arterial and 1 transient ischaemic attack) occurred in 14 subjects (5.4%, annual incidence rate 1.86%). Hypertension and lupus anticoagulant (LA) were significantly predictive of thrombosis (both at p<0.05) and thromboprophylaxis was significantly protective during high-risk periods (p<0.05) according to univariate analysis. Hypertension and LA were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis as independent risk factors for thrombosis (HR 3.8, 95% CI 1.3 to 11.1, p<0.05, and HR 3.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 14, p<0.05, respectively).Conclusions Hypertension and LA are independent risk factors for thrombosis in aPL carriers. Thromboprophylaxis in these subjects should probably be limited to high-risk situations.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In 258 confirmed antiphospholipid antibody carriers without prior thrombosis, hypertension and lupus anticoagulant were independent risk factors for a first thrombotic event. Thromboprophylaxis appeared protective only when given during high-risk periods.
Key findings
- A first thrombotic event occurred in 14/258 subjects (5.4%; annual incidence rate 1.86 per 100 patients per year): 9 venous thromboses, 4 arterial thromboses, and 1 transient ischaemic attack.
- Multivariate Cox analysis identified hypertension (HR 3.8, 95% CI 1.3 to 11.1, p<0.05) and lupus anticoagulant (HR 3.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 14, p<0.05) as independent risk factors for thrombosis.
- Univariate analysis found hypertension and lupus anticoagulant significantly associated with thrombosis (both p<0.05); Kaplan-Meier analysis showed higher cumulative incidence with hypertension (p<0.01) and lupus anticoagulant (p<0.05).
- Thromboprophylaxis during high-risk periods was significantly protective (OR 0.1, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.9, p<0.05), whereas continuous prophylaxis was not associated with reduced thromboembolic events.
Methods
- Prospective multicentre follow-up study of 258 Caucasian confirmed aPL carriers (223 women, 35 men; mean±SD age 40.9±11.1 years) aged 18–65 with no history of thrombosis and at least two consecutive positive aPL results no less than 12 weeks apart, recruited from 11 Italian rheumatology centres between 15 October 2004 and 15 October 2008.
- Mean±SD follow-up was 35.0±11.9 months; clinical and laboratory parameters were collected at enrolment, once a year, and at any thrombotic event; aPL testing included lupus anticoagulant, IgG/IgM anticardiolipin, and IgG/IgM anti-β2-glycoprotein I.
- Analyses included univariate tests, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with log-rank tests, McNemar test, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards modelling adjusted for age, sex, aPL antibodies, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, pregnancy/puerperium, smoking, hypercholesterolaemia, body mass index, pill/hormone replacement therapy, and diabetes mellitus.
Limitations
- The paper states that there was no central laboratory for aPL testing and that the follow-up period was short.
- Evident from the text: only 14 thrombotic events occurred, limiting statistical power and precision.
- Evident from the text: prophylaxis was not randomized, long-term low-dose aspirin was initiated arbitrarily for specified reasons, and drug compliance was monitored by self-report, so confounding by indication is possible.

The cited paper is not a retrospective, case-control, or cross-sectional study of the kind listed in the citing sentence. Its Subjects and Definition of Clinical Outcome section says participants were followed for 11 years to identify incident stroke or TIA, and its Discussion explicitly calls the design a prospective population-based cohort study. The paper does acknowledge conflicting earlier findings, but its classification in this list is contrary to our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The Discussion identifies this paper as a population-based case-control study. The Introduction reports conflicting results among case-control studies of aPL and ischemic stroke and discusses differences in patient characteristics and risk factors that could explain them. This supports its citation as a case-control study in the stated context. (LLM, conf=0.92)

The Introduction (page unavailable) reports differing findings across prior studies, and the Discussion (page unavailable) contrasts the HUNT results with other studies while identifying differences in design, participant selection and antibody assays. Our copy does not establish the sentence’s specific claim about cross-sectional studies or show that differing risk factors account for the contradictory results. (LLM, conf=0.82)

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-19, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-19 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
