Antiphospholipid syndrome classification criteria

Antiphospholipid syndrome classification criteria are a set of clinical and laboratory guidelines used to diagnose this autoimmune disorder, characterised by recurrent thrombosis and pregnancy complications. These criteria are essential for identifying patients who may benefit from anticoagulation therapy, thereby preventing serious outcomes like stroke or miscarriage. A key association is the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, which can lead to increased clotting risk.
