Researchers are developing new criteria for clinical research of antiphospholipid syndrome
An international team of more than 80 collaborators led by Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) investigators is developing new classification criteria for clinical research of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a life-threatening autoimmune clotting disorder.
In their paper, published online ahead of print on November 30, 2020, in
Arthritis Care & Research, the investigators reported on the first two of four phases of criteria development. Phase I and II involved generating 261 candidate criteria for defining APS and reducing the list to 27 finalist criteria, grouped into six specific categories: laboratory tests, macrovascular, microvascular, obstetric, cardiac and hematologic.

The ultimate goal is to develop a threshold-based scoring system that will allow researchers worldwide to determine which patients most likely have APS and should be included in research studies.
