Abstract
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disorder resulting in thrombosis, microvascular disease, morbidity in pregnancy, and/or non-thrombotic manifestations. The recently introduced 2023 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) APS classification criteria, with significantly higher specificity compared to the revised Sapporo criteria, now reflect the current thinking about APS and provide a new foundation for future APS research. The purpose of this short commentary is to discuss the appropriate circumstances under which the 2023 ACR/EULAR classification criteria could be used and to demonstrate how the new criteria can be applied to simple case scenarios.
期刊介绍：
The Turkish Journal of Hematology is published quarterly (March, June, September, and December) by the Turkish Society of Hematology. It is an independent, non-profit peer-reviewed international English-language periodical encompassing subjects relevant to hematology.
The Editorial Board of The Turkish Journal of Hematology adheres to the principles of the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), International Council of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) and Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE).
The aim of The Turkish Journal of Hematology is to publish original hematological research of the highest scientific quality and clinical relevance. Additionally, educational material, reviews on basic developments, editorial short notes, images in hematology, and letters from hematology specialists and clinicians covering their experience and comments on hematology and related medical fields as well as social subjects are published. As of December 2015, The Turkish Journal of Hematology does not accept case reports. Important new findings or data about interesting hematological cases may be submitted as a brief report.
