ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME

This study tested whether the drug rivaroxaban works as well as warfarin to prevent further brain damage in people who have had a stroke due to antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a condition that causes abnormal blood clotting. About 40 participants took either rivaroxaban or warfa…

This study tested how well a small, portable device (LumiraDx) measures blood clotting (INR) compared to standard lab tests. Researchers collected blood from 420 adults, some taking warfarin and some not, using both a fingerstick and a vein draw. The goal was to see if the device…

This study uses special MRI scans to see if the white matter in the brain gets worse over time in women who have obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome, a condition that can cause pregnancy loss. Researchers will compare brain images from 40 women who were part of an earlier study. …

This study followed over 1,500 women who had pregnancy losses and were tested for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and other clotting disorders. Researchers compared cancer rates among women with APS, those with other clotting gene changes, and those with no clotting issues. The g…

This study followed 513 women with antiphospholipid syndrome starting a new pregnancy. Researchers measured two blood markers (PGF and sFlt1) before and after the first low-molecular-weight heparin injections. The goal was to see if changes in these markers could predict serious …

This study looked at how common major psychiatric disorders are in women with antiphospholipid syndrome (a blood clotting disorder) and similar pregnancy loss histories. Researchers compared three groups of women about 10 years after their initial diagnosis. The goal was to under…

This completed study looked at 1,000 women with autoimmune diseases (like lupus) who had a C-section. Researchers wanted to find out how many had severe bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage) and what factors increased that risk. By analyzing medical records, they hope to identify high…
