Multicenter External Validation of the APTTO Predictive Model Based on Clot Waveform Analysis for the Assessment of Prolonged Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time
Prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is a frequent laboratory finding that may reflect a broad spectrum of underlying conditions, ranging from benign laboratory abnormalities to clinically relevant hemostatic disorders. Clot waveform analysis (CWA), automatically generated during routine APTT testing by optical coagulation analyzers, provides additional quantitative and qualitative information on clot formation dynamics.
The APTTO model is a previously developed two-step predictive algorithm based on CWA features designed to estimate the probability of a pathological cause of prolonged APTT and to differentiate lupus anticoagulant from intrinsic pathway factor deficiency or von Willebrand disease. Internal validation has demonstrated good discrimination and calibration.
This multicenter observational study aims to perform an external validation of the APTTO model in independent patient cohorts, assessing its discrimination, calibration, and decision-analytic performance without model updating.
