ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Risk assessment of vascular thrombosis in SLE patients with the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) remains a challenge. The adjusted global antiphospholipid syndrome score (aGAPSS) has been validated and used to predict aPL-related thrombosis in SLE patients in some countries. Relevant data of aGAPSS in thrombotic evaluation in SLE population from China has not been reported. We aim to validate aGAPSS in thrombosis assessment in Chinese patients with SLE and to explore the correlations of aGAPSS with routine laboratory parameters and their clinical significance as well.METHODS:
A total of 166 consecutive SLE patients were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the impact of multiple cardiovascular risk factors and laboratory parameters in recurrent thrombosis risk in SLE. ROC was conducted to explore the discriminative ability of aGAPSS and platelet (PLT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), alone or in combination.RESULTS:
Significantly higher value of aGAPSS was seen in SLE patients with vascular thrombosis. ROC curve indicated that aGAPSS of 3.5 or more had the best diagnostic accuracy for the prediction of aPL-related thrombosis in SLE patients. PLT with cutoff of 187.5 x 109/L and APTT with 37.5 seconds were predictors of aPL-related thrombosis as well. The combination of aGAPSS with PLT and APTT improved AUC compared to aGAPSS alone.CONCLUSIONS:
The aGAPSS could predict the risk of aPL-related vascular thrombosis in SLE patients from China. The combination of aGAPSS with PLT and APTT was first time proved to have better predictive performance in thrombosis risk assessment in SLE.
