EULAR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME

European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) has developed recommendations for the management of Antiphospholipid Syndrome, a rare systemic autoimmune disorder. The leader of the task force group including 24 members from 11 European countries was Dr. Maria Tektonidou, Associate Professor of Rheumatology, Medical School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

EULAR Recommendations are based on the evidence from a comprehensive systematic literature review and quality assessment of all published studies on antiphospholipid syndrome treatment in order to facilitate accurate and prompt clinical decision making. These recommendations can help physicians from various specialties over the world to improve the quality of care in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and will foster future research by highlighting evidence gaps. ard.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/annrheumdis-2019-215213
