Ratio Screen/Confirm Several participants reported a value for the ratio screen/confirm which actually was not likely to be a ratio screen over comfirm. Therefore these results were excluded from the statistical analysis.

Final conclusion The sample used in this survey was plasma from a patient diagnosed with Lupus Anticoagulant (LA Ratio = approx. 1.70). No other types of inhibitors were present.

In total 462 participants gave a final conclusion. Of the participants who gave a final conclusion, approximately 97% classified the sample as positive. Two percent classified the sample as borderline. Thus, the vast majority of the participants correctly classified this sample as positive.

Several participants stated that there is an indication that this sample is positive for lupus anticoagulant but in real clinical practice this should be confirmed in a new sample after 12 weeks. Some participants indicated that the presence of direct oral anticoagulants and/or an increased CRP level should be excluded.

Comments Several participants selected the wromg unit, e.g. ratio while the result was likely to be in seconds or vice versa. Several participants reported their result for the ECAT plasma in seconds while the result for their reference plasma was reported as a ratio. One participant reported a negative result for their reference plasma. In all these cases the ratio between the ECAT plasma and the laboratories own reference plasma could not be correctly calculated. Therefore all these results were excluded from the statistical analysis.

The vast majority of the performed confirmation tests (approx. 95%) were classified as borderline or positive.

Comments Several participants selected the wromg unit, e.g. ratio while the result was likely to be in seconds or vice versa. One participant reported the result for the ECAT plasma in seconds while the result for the reference plasma was reported as a ratio. One participant reported a negative result for their reference plasma. In all these cases the ratio between the ECAT plasma and the laboratories own reference plasma could not be correctly calculated. Therefore all these results were excluded from the statistical analysis.

The majority of performed mixing tests (approx. 90%) were classified as (borderline) prolonged.

APTT DRVVT

Comments Several participants selected the wromg unit, e.g. ratio while the result was likely to be in seconds or vice versa. A few other participants reported their result for the ECAT plasma in seconds while the result for their reference plasma was reported as a ratio. One participant reported a negative result for their reference plasma. In all these cases the ratio between the ECAT plasma and the laboratories own reference plasma could not be correctly calculated. Therefore all these results were excluded from the statistical analysis.

The majority of performed screening tests (approx. 97%) were classified as (borderline) prolonged.

Use of units We observed several issue of improper use of units during this survey.

Lupus Anticoagulant See comments in the respective sections.

Antiphospholipid Antibodies Please be aware of the proper use of units. We have frequently observed the use of different units by participants using the same method while their results are comparable. For now we have harmonised the units. However it is the responsibility of the participant to use the correct units!
