  1. Investigating 85 APS patients, 65 DC patients, and 79 NHS, sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios were calculated using a cut-off of 10 U/ml for all ELISA
  2. anti-β2 GPI, anti-beta2-glycoprotein I; anti-CL, anti-cardiolipin; +LR, positive likelihood ratio; -LR, negative likelihood ratio.
