Table 2.

(A) Multivariate analysis including variables with a p-value <0.10 identified in the univariate analysis, (B) Second multivariate analysis in which the presence of any positive aPL was separated into classic aPL, IgG/IgM aPS/PT, and IgA aB2GPI positivity, (C) Multivariate analysis including only the significant variables described in the second model.
