This session will review the new ACR/EULAR Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) classification criteria, which were developed through an international multidisciplinary effort, with the goal of identifying patients with a high likelihood of APS for research purposes. The methodological approach employs a balance of expert-based and data-driven methods, and involves four phases: item generation (I); item reduction (II); weighting of items and threshold identification (III); and validation (IV). During the session, we will: a) outline the methodology used; b) present the draft or final (if approved by ACR/EULAR by then) criteria while highlighting the novel aspects, as well as the strengths and limitations; and c) encourage the development of collaborative “off-shoot” studies.
