  • DOR and p value determined by t-test for ECR1, EC4d, complement proteins C3 and C4, anti-dsDNA, LAC and antiphospholipid antibodies (anti-PS/PT, aCL and anti-β2-GP1) are reported. LAC results are provided as positive or negative. As the t-test could not be performed for LAC, p values are not reported for LAC (NA) in the table. PE at any time includes the pregnancies that presented with PE before (n=7) and after (n=4) the 36th week of gestation.

  • aCL, anticardiolipin; anti-dsDNA, anti-double-stranded DNA; anti-PS/PT, antiphosphatidylserine prothrombin complex; anti-β2-GP1, anti-β2 glycoprotein 1; APO, adverse pregnancy outcomes; DOR, diagnostic OR; EC4d, erythrocyte-bound C4d; ECR1, erythrocyte complement receptor 1; LAC, lupus anticoagulant; NA, not available; PE, pre-eclampsia.
