“…It should be noted that the inappropriate use of anticoagulants in BD could be very dangerous especially in patients with pulmonary artery aneurisms because of the risk of vascular rupture. Arterial aneurysm is one of the most common vascular complications in BD the prevalence of which is about 25% [37,46,47]. Interestingly, aneurysms have been observed in patients with aPLs [48,49].…”

Behçet's disease (BD) is a multifactorial systemic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology characterised by several clinical manifestations including vascular involvements (i.e., both arterial and venous thrombosis). Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs)-including anticardiolipin (aCL), anti-β2-glycoprotein I (β2-GPI) antibodies and lupus anticoagulant (LA) are detected in systemic autoimmune diseases which contribute to thrombosis. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the prevalence of aPLs in patients with BD as compared to controls. A protocol was registered in PROSPERO (Registration No. CRD42018088125) and a systematic literature search was conducted through PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus and ScienceDirect databases. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects model. Quality assessment was carried out by using the modified 9-star Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Publication bias was evaluated via visualisation of contour-enhanced and trim and fill funnel plots along with Begg's and Egger's tests. We included ten case-control studies (a total of 999 participants from 380 BD patients and 619 controls) based on the inclusion criteria. The
