| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected Outcome 1: Comparison of the mean difference after 6 months of hydroxychloroquine use and non-use, by analysis by flow cytometry, of lymphocyte subpopulations - B, NK, TCD4, TCD8, TREG -in patients with primary APS;Outcome found 1: CD8 + and CD4 + T cells showed decreased counts during treatment and remained unchanged during the untreated period. The TREG lymphocyte count increased during treatment with HCQ (mean variation of 0.2U, 95% CI 0 to 0.4) and decreased in the period without treatment with the medication (mean variation of -0.6U, 95% CI -0.9 to -0.1);Expected Outcome 2: Comparison of the mean difference after 6 months of hydroxychloroquine use and non-use, by analysis by flow cytometry, of the expression of tissue factor at monocytes and platelets and in the D-Dimer levels in patients with primary APS;Expected outcome 2: It was not observed significant changes at monocyte-related tissue factor , at platelet-related tissue factor levels and D-dimer levels in this study;Expected Outcome 3: Comparison of the mean difference after 6 months of hydroxychloroquine use and non-use in lipid and glycemic profiles in patients with primary APS ;Found Outcome 3: Serum glycemia and low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels decreased during HCQ use (7% and 12% respectively) and did not change significantly in the period without the use of HCQ | — |
