PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. p-values of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are calculated with McNemar test.

P1: Comparison of result of aCL IgG or IgM or IgA to aCL IgG or IgM; P2: Comparison of result of aβ2GpI IgG or IgM or IgA to aβ2GpI IgG or IgM; P3: Comparison of result of aCL or aβ2GpI IgG or IgM or IgA to aCL or aβ2GpI IgG or IgM; P1’: Comparison of result of aPS/PT IgG or IgM to aCL IgG or IgM; P2’: Comparison of result of aPS/PT IgG or IgM to aβ2GpI IgG or IgM; P3’: Comparison of result of aCL, aβ2GpI, or aPS/PT IgG or IgM to aCL or aβ2GpI IgG or IgM; P1’’: Comparison of result of aAnxV IgG or IgM to aCL IgG or IgM; P2’’: Comparison of result of aAnxV IgG or IgM to aβ2GpI IgG or IgM; P3’’: Comparison of result of aCL, aB2GpI, or aAnxV IgG or IgM to aCL or aβ2GpI IgG or IgM. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are shown.

Bold values mean P < 0.05.
