International Survey on Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome (CAPS)
Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare but life-threatening autoimmune thrombotic disease increasingly recognized to involve complement-mediated and thromboinflammatory pathways. Despite its severity, many aspects of CAPS diagnosis and management remain based on limited evidence and expert opinion.
The CAPS-CARE study is an international multidisciplinary survey aiming to identify current practices, unmet needs, and areas of uncertainty in CAPS management worldwide.
Members of the European Complement Network are uniquely positioned to contribute, given the growing interest in complement activation and thrombotic microangiopathy in CAPS.
• Anonymous survey
• Approximately 15–20 minutes
• Open to all clinicians, whether or not they have previously managed a CAPS patient
• Participants who agree to be identified will be invited to join the CAPS-CARE Study Group for future publications
