Overview

In the early 1980s, the term antiphospholipid syndrome was coined to describe a unique form of autoantibody-induced thrombophilia. In 1999, Sapporo classification criteria for APS was published. In 2006, the preliminary Sapporo criteria was revised with the inclusion of anti-β2 glycoprotein I (GPI) antibodies in the diagnostic criteria.

Historical Perspective

The historical perspective of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is as follows:[1][2][3]

  • In the early 1980s, the term antiphospholipid syndrome was coined to describe a unique form of autoantibody-induced thrombophilia, whose hallmarks are complications in pregnancy complications and recurrent thrombosis.
  • In 1999, Sapporo classification criteria for APS were published in an international consensus statement in Sydney, Australia.
