Analysis was performed on all cohort members with no missing values for any of the variables (n = 398 for all vascular events [arterial and venous combined] and for arterial vascular events; n = 399 for venous vascular events). ND = not determined (variables that were not entered into the model for venous vascular events) (see Table 1 for other definitions).

P < 0.05.

Positivity for at least 1 of the following: IgG or IgM aCL (>40 phospholipid units), LAC, or anti-β2GPI.
