Mary Cushman: Covering Associations of Antiphospholipid Antibodies with Stroke
Mary Cushman, University Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair at the University of Vermont, shared a post on LinkedIn, about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Stroke journal, adding:
“New manuscript out in Stroke journal covering associations of antiphospholipid antibodies with stroke.
Great to work with Behnood Bikdeli’s group on this!
In 52 studies:
- Pooled prevalence of seropositivity for any aPL in >9000 people with ischemic stroke was 19.1%. That’s high!
- aPL seropositivity was associated with 2.93-fold increased risk of first ischemic stroke (43 studies, 19 097 patients.
- Strongest association was for lupus anticoagulant or, 6.69 )95% CI, 2.94–15.2).”
