A significant proportion of fertile women with aPL antibodies became negative during follow-up. Tobacco use and the number of positive antibodies are associated with persistently positive serology. Patients with persistently positive aPL serology suffer more obstetric complications. Treatment withdrawal might be safe in selected patients.
