Analysis was performed on 442 patients.

a

Immunosuppressive drugs included azathioprine, methotrexate, ciclosporin, mycophenolate, cyclophosphamide, thalidomide, tacrolimus, lenalidomide or sulfasalazine.

b

Biological therapy included rituximab or belimumab.

APS: anti phospholipid syndrome; HR: hazard ratio; HS-cTnT: high sensitivity cardiac troponin T.
