Fifty-nine participants (approx. 11%) gave no final conclusion. The sample used in this survey was plasma from a patient diagnosed with (LA Ratio = approx. 1.6). No other types of inhibitor were present. Of the participants who gave a final conclusion, approximately 91% classified the sample as positive. Thus, the vast majority of the participants correctly classified this sample as positive. Several participants stated that there is an indication that this sample is positive for lupus anticoagulant but in real clinical practice this should be confirmed in a new sample after 12 weeks. Some participants indicated that the presence of direct oral anticoagulants and/or an increased CRP level should be excluded. A few other participants indicated that a decreased level of some coagulation factors could be possible too.
