Conditions
Keywords
oral lichen planus, Prothrombotic risk, trombophilia screening
Brief summary
The primary objective is to evaluate the cardiovascular profile and the risk of thrombotic events in patients affected by Oral Lichen Planus.
Detailed description
Evaluation of thrombophilia screening parameters, antiphospholipid antibody levels, and platelet aggregability in a cohort of patients affected by Oral Lichen Planus.
Interventions
blood sample collection in old patients in order to study the trombophilic risk
Sponsors

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prothrombotic risk evaluation | From September 2025 to September 2026 | Primary Outcome Measure 1 Title: Prevalence of Natural Anticoagulant Deficiency * Description: Proportion of patients with Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) showing reduced functional activity of at least one natural anticoagulant (antithrombin III, protein C, or protein S) below the laboratory reference range, measured in plasma samples. * Time Frame: From September 2025 to September 2026 * Unit of Measure: Percentage of participants with abnormal result (%). Primary Outcome Measure 2 Title: Prevalence of Antiphospholipid Antibody Positivity * Description: Proportion of OLP patients with positive antiphospholipid antibodies, defined as anticardiolipin IgG and/or IgM and/or anti-β2-glycoprotein I IgG/IgM above the laboratory cut-off, measured in serum. * Time Frame: From September 2025 to September 2026 * Unit of Measure: Percentage of participants with abnormal result (%). |
