Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the clinical manifestations, risk factors and risk of recurrence in patients with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) complicated with cerebral infarction.Methods:Inpatients diagnosed with PAPS was recruited between 2010 and 2020. Clinical characteristics,laboratory results and adjusted global antiphospholipid syndrome score (aGAPSS) were compared between patients with cerebral infarction and without cerebral infarction by χ2 test, t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Univariate and multivariate Logistic analysis were performed to identify the risk factors associated with cerebral infarction. Results:In 145 PAPS patients [median age 44.0 (34.0, 51.5) years, 66.2% female], 46 (31.7%) patients had cerebral infarction. Patients with cerebral infarction had higher rates of transient ischemic attack (TIA) (50.0% and 20.2%, χ2=13.37, P<0.001), cardiac valvular anomalies (32.6% and 11.1%, χ2=9.86, P=0.002), lupus anticoagulant (LA) (87.0% and 42.4%, χ2=25.35, P<0.001) and triple antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) positivity (50.0% and 11.1%, χ2=26.64, P<0.001). The aGAPSS value was significantly higher in patients with cerebral infarction compared to those without [13(11, 14) and 9(7, 13), U=934.50, P<0.001]. The independent risk factors for PAPS-associated cerebral infarction were TIA [ OR (95% CI)= 3.612 (1.387, 9.403), P=0.009]、triple aPL positivity[ OR(95% CI)=8.904 (3.169, 25.019), P<0.001], higher aGAPSS[ OR(95% CI)=1.421(1.209, 1.670), P<0.001]. Conclusion:Patients with cerebral infarction may have a higher risk of thrombus recurrence. TIA, triple aPL positivity and higher aGAPSS are independent risk factors for PAPS patients with cerebral infarction.
