Acquired angioedema due to C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency (AAE-C1-INH) is a type of bradykinin-induced AE characterized by the acquired deficiency of C1-INH due to the consumption or the production of neutralizing autoantibodies against C1-INH (anti-C1-INH antibodies), despite normal C1-INH protein synthesis. AAE-C1-INH is much more often associated with lymphoma or monoclonal gam-mopathy of undetermined significance than with autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also in cases where anti-C1-INH antibodies are present.

Our two primary outcomes were MACE and death. We performed multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the impact of various anti-thrombotic regimens on MACE/death in our primary cohort and high-risk subgroups.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Patients on anti-coagulants had significantly reduced odds of MACE [odds ratio (OR) 0.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.62-0.76, p < 0.001] as well as each of its subcomponents. Those not on any anti-coagulants had significantly increased odds of MACE (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.24-1.72, p < 0.001). No significant association was found between anti-platelet use and the odds of MACE (p > 0.05). Patients on anti-coagulants were the only class that appeared to have a mortality benefit with reduced odds for death (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.49-0.84, p = 0.001). In the subgroups at higher risk for MACE (those with atrial fibrillation and thrombocytopenia), full anti-coagulation therapy was also the only anti-thrombotic class that significantly affected the odds of MACE, with a protective effect on MACE, but had no mortality benefit.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Patients with APS are most likely to benefit from anti-coagulant therapy in reducing MACE. Furthermore, anti-platelets alone or in combination with anti-coagulants are probably not beneficial in MACE reduction and may even increase risk.</p>","PeriodicalId":21424,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10062149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
