LUPUS ANTICOAGU<strong>LA</strong>NT<br />

<strong>LA</strong>BORATORY CODE NUMBER: 900<br />

Test plasma : 10.06<br />

Type of plasma : Low Lupus Inhibitor Plasma (Technoclone, lot no. 2U92A00).<br />

Former used in exercise : 2009-4<br />

Number of participants : 429<br />

Number of responders : 362<br />

Participation rate : 84%<br />

General remarks<br />

1. To make the calculation of ratios possible we entered the maximum measured value into the database<br />

when results were reported as >[value].<br />

2. Seven participants did not gave a final conclusion (!).<br />

Negative classification<br />

This (weakly) positive lupus sample was negatively classified by only 7 participants (~2%).<br />

Screening tests<br />

About 7% of the screening tests was classified as normal. For the APTT assay group this percentage was<br />

about 13% and for the DRVVT assay group about 2%.<br />

The only APTT reagent with a relative high percentage of normal classification was Actin FSL (Siemens):<br />

~33%.<br />

Mixing tests<br />

About 25% (n=113) of all mixing tests (n=456) was classified as normal.<br />

For the APTT assay group this was ~24% and for the DRVTT assay group ~27%.<br />

From the most frequently used APTT reagents (n ≥ 10) the rate of normal classification is:<br />

Pathromtin SL (Siemens, n=14) [64%] and Actin FSL (Siemens, n=31) [59%].<br />

From the most frequently used DRVVT reagents (n ≥ 10) the rate of normal classification is:<br />

<strong>LA</strong> screen (Siemens, n=83) [27%], <strong>LA</strong> screen (Life Diagnostics, n=26) [12%], <strong>LA</strong>C screen (I.L., n=18)<br />

[35%], <strong>LA</strong> Check (Precision Biologic, n=14) [21%], DRVVT screen (Stago, n=16) [19%].<br />

Confirmation test<br />

In the confirmation test the number of negative classification was 69 (~ 13%).<br />

The only reagents with a percentage of negative classification > 10% were <strong>LA</strong> confirm (Siemens) [13%] and<br />

<strong>LA</strong>C confirm (I.L) [15%],<br />

In general there is no clear pattern in test combinations which is responsible for the negative<br />

classification of this sample.

In this survey the same sample was distributed as in survey 2009-4. In totally 259 participants had participated<br />

in both surveys. Of them 59% gave the same final conclusion in both surveys.<br />

The table below shows the comparison of the classification of both surveys in detail.<br />

Although about 40% of the participants came to a different final conclusion in survey <strong>2010</strong>-1, only a minority of<br />

participants (n=5) classified the sample in 2009-4 as borderline – positive and gave in the <strong>2010</strong>-1 survey a<br />

negative classification. On the other hand, 8 participants who classified the sample normal in the 2009-4 survey,<br />

classified the sample in the <strong>2010</strong>-1 survey as borderline – positive.

ANTICARDIOLIPIN ANTIBODIES<br />

Test plasma : 10.06<br />

Type of plasma : Low Lupus Inhibitor Plasma (Technoclone, lot no. 2U92A00).<br />

Former used in exercise : 2009-4<br />

Number of participants : 429<br />

Responders Number Percentage<br />

IgG 154 36%<br />

IgM 137 32%<br />

Remarks<br />

1. About 80% of the participants reported their results in GPL or MPL units. Only for those category a histogram was given<br />

in the report.<br />

2. Several participants reported a result < [value]. In general the value indicated was included into the statistical<br />

evaluations with the exception if the value was 5 or higher.<br />

3. Most of the participants who reported their results in the category “Others” indicated their results in U/mL.<br />

For most of the methods this seems to be the same as GPL or MPL, because the results in both unit categories are<br />

comparable. We highly recommend to report according to the unit indicated in the kit insert.<br />

Remarks:<br />

Remarkable differences are observed between different methods used for the determination of the<br />

Anticardiolipin IgG antibodies. This results also in a heterogeneous pattern in the classification of this<br />

sample. About 23% classified the sample as negative, while the other participants showed a wide variation<br />

in the classification from borderline to high positive.
