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).

Randomized, Controlled Trial of Prednisone, Cyclophosphamide, and Cyclosporine in Lupus Membranous Nephropathy

TL;DR: Patients with lupus membranous nephropathy are at substantial long-term risk for morbidity and mortality associated with protracted nephrotic syndrome, including ESRD and regimens containing CsA or IVCY are each more effective than prednisone alone in inducing remission of proteinuria among patients with LMN.

Clinical features of haemophagocytic syndrome in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases: analysis of 30 cases

TL;DR: The prevalence of HPS among in-hospital patients with systemic autoimmunity is not ignorable, and administration of immunosuppressants was effective in cases with autoimmune-associated HPS, whereas prognosis was poor in infection- associated HPS.

The 1982 revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus

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

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.

The "primary" antiphospholipid syndrome: major clinical and serological features.

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.
