Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine if low complement levels in patients with positive anti-phospholipid antibodies can predict worse health outcomes, focusing on mortality and complications during hospitalization.
  • Researchers examined the medical records of over 6,800 hospitalized patients with abnormal anti-phospholipid antibodies and complement levels between 2007 and 2021, finding that those with low complement levels had significantly higher mortality rates.
  • The results indicate that low complement levels are an independent predictor of higher mortality, aligning with recent findings about the importance of complement activation in anti-phospholipid syndrome.
