Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the difference in INR values measured with the Coaguchek XS and Coagulometer. A difference in INR >0,5 will be considered clinically significant. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary parameter includes: - The determination of antiphospholipid antibodies: IgG / IgM directed against cardiolipin, β2-Glycoprotein I, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidyl-choline, - ethanolamine, -glycerol, -inositol, -serine, annexin V and prothrombin, and antiphospholipid antibodies that prolong the clotting time in vitro, known as lupus anticoagulant. Lupus anticoagulant will be determined using a dilute Russell*s Viper Venom Time (dRVVT) screen and confirm, and an activated partial tromboplastin time (APTT) screen and confirm. - The evaluation of differences in INR values between triple positive APS patients (patients at highest risk for recurrent thrombosis) and non-triple positive APS patients. Patients are considered as triple positive if they are tested positive for anti-cardiolipin antibodies, anti-β2GPI antibodies and lupus anticoagulant. | — |
