Predictors of damage accrual and its impact on health-related quality of life of thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome: Independent validation of the damage index for antiphospholipid syndrome (DIAPS)

We aim to independently assess the validity of the damage index for antiphospholipid syndrome (DIAPS) in thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) patients by exploring the prevalence and risk factors of organ damage and evaluating its impact on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL).
