TLDR
Given that the presence of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies has been proposed to be associated with thrombosis in newly diagnosed patients with lymphoma, a prospective cohort study on patients with advanced-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma found an aPL predictive score of ≥−1 was predictive of aPL positivity.
Abstract
Given that the presence of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies has been proposed to be associated with thrombosis in newly diagnosed patients with lymphoma, we conducted a prospective cohort study on these patients. In all, 154 patients were enrolled. More than half were advanced-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Approximately one-third (35.7%) of the patients had the presence of aPLs, with single-, double-, and triple-aPL positivities of 29.9%, 5.2%, and 0.6%, respectively. Of the 154 patients, 8 (5.19%) developed symptomatic thrombosis during follow-up. There were no significant differences in the incidences of thrombosis for the aPL-positive and aPL-negative groups (5.5% vs 5.1%; P = 1.000). In a multivariate analysis, patients with male sex and lymphoma stage IV were significant risk factors for aPL positivity, with odds ratio [OR] = 2.22 (95% CI: 1.11-4.45), P = .025, and OR: 2.34 (95% CI: 1.17-4.67), P = .016, respectively. An aPL predictive score of ≥-1 was predictive of aPL positivity, with a sensitivity of 83.6% and specificity of 34.3%.
