The Relationship of Antiphospholipid Antibodies to Thromboembolic Disease in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
In order to determine whether an association exists between antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA) and thromboembolic events in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we performed a cross-sectional study of consecutive unselected SLE patients.
