TLDR
In 1992, Piette and colleagues suggested that the ACR revised criteria be reevaluated in light of the above discoveries, and the presence and clinical associations or antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with SLE was suggested.Abstract:
In 1982, the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Criteria Committee of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR)published revised criteria for the classification of systemiclupus erythematosus (SLE) (1). During the ensuing decade several investigators, including Drs. Graham Hughes and Donato Alarcon-Segovia, among others, have described the presence and clinical associations or antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with SLE, as well as the occurrence of theprimary antiphospholipid syndrome (2-5). In 1992, Piette and colleagues suggested that the ACR revised criteria be reevaluated in light of the above discoveries (6).read more

Multiple sclerosis: diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and clinical presentation.
TL;DR: Diagnostic criteria for MS have evolved over the past several decades, with each revision impacting the apparent prevalence and prognosis of the disorder - the result has been to encourage earlier diagnosis without compromising accuracy.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis
Nanna Figved,G. Klevan,Kjell-Morten Myhr,Solveig B. Glad,Harald Nyland,Jan Petter Larsen,Erna Harboe,Roald Omdal,Dag Aarsland +8 more
TL;DR: The range of psychiatric symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their association with neurological disability are explored to explore the range of neurological disability-related symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
False-positive tests for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus.
TL;DR: A large proportion of patients with APS and/or SLE give false‐positive HIT antigen test results that are presumably related to autoantibodies against PF4, which can be distinguished from true HIT antibodies by EIA for PF4–heparin complexes tested with heparin excess, and by functional assays.

Raised intrathecal levels of APRIL and BAFF in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: relationship to neuropsychiatric symptoms
TL;DR: This is the first study to show elevated levels of BAFF and APRIL in CSF of SLE patients and it is suggested that APRIL and BAFF in the CNS are regulated together but that they are produced independently of IL-6.

TL;DR: Evaluation of manifestations at disease onset and comparison of early SLE manifestations to those of diseases mimicking SLE are compared to find nonspecific signs and symptoms found in other conditions.

The 1982 revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus
Eng M. Tan,Alan S. Cohen,James F. Fries,Alfonse T. Masi,Dennis J. McShane,Naomi F. Rothfield,Jane G. Schaller,Norman Talal,Robert Winchester +8 more
TL;DR: The 1971 preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were revised and updated to incorporate new immunologic knowledge and improve disease classification and showed gains in sensitivity and specificity.

Anticardiolipin antibodies: detection by radioimmunoassay and association with thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus
E. N. Harris,Boey Ml,C G Mackworth-Young,A. E. Gharavi,B. M. Patel,S. Loizou,Graham R. V. Hughes +6 more
TL;DR: A new solid-phase radioimmunoassay for the detection of anticardiolipin antibodies is 200-400 times more sensitive than the precipitation method used in the Venereal Disease Reference Laboratory test and appears to have predictive value for thrombosis in SLE and related disorders.

TL;DR: The group of patients presented appears to be closely related, but distinctly separate from SLE, with a history of deep vein thromboses and a family history of SLE or a familial clotting tendency in a minority.

Evaluation of the anti-cardiolipin antibody test: report of an international workshop held 4 April 1986.
TL;DR: This study shows that properly performed ELISA or SRIA assays can be used to provide an accurate, reproducible, and quantitative measure of IgG and IgM aCL concentration in serum samples.
