↵* 8 VT, 1 AT, 6 VT + AT.
↵** 1 Factor V Leiden heterozygous, 1 Protein S heterozygous, 1 unknown (all 3 VT only).
↵+ 11 VT, 4 AT, 5 VT + AT.
↵++ Both Factor V Leiden heterozygous (both VT only). Pregnancy morbidity was calculated over the total number of women who have ever been pregnant (n = 87 for the SP-APS and 65 for the SN-APS groups). Only p values < 0.1 are shown and values < 0.05 are considered statistically significant. APS: antiphospholipid syndrome; SP-APS: seropositive APS; SN-APS: seronegative APS; VT: venous thrombosis; AT: arterial thrombosis; DVT: deep vein thrombosis; PE: pulmonary embolism; TIA: transient ischemic attack; CAD: carotid artery disease.
