  1. Abbreviations: aPL, antiphospholipid antibody; APS, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome; aCL, anticardiolipin antibody; aβ2GPI, anti-β2GPI antibody; LA, lupus anticoagulant; LR, likelihood ratio; OR, odds ratio; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value
  2. Various aPL antibodies measured by EIA or chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) were evaluated by calculating the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), accuracy, positive or negative likelihood ratio (LR + or LR −), and odds ratio
