Abstract
Sticky Platelet Syndrome (SPS) is a disorder characterized by platelet hyperaggregability, diagnosed by studying in vitro platelet aggregation with ADP and epinephrine. It is the second most common cause of thrombophilia in Mexican Mestizos and manifests as an autosomal dominant trait which, combined with other coagulopathies, contributes significantly to the morbidity and mortality of patients with primary thrombophilia. It is easily treatable with antiplatelet drugs; however, the methods for diagnosis are not readily available in all clinical laboratories and the disorder is often overlooked by most clinicians. Herein, we present the results of more than 20 years of Mexican experience with the study of SPS in a Mestizo population.

Abstract
» Hypercoagulable disorders (HCDs) can be inherited or acquired. An HCD of either etiology increases the chance of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs). » Patients with an HCD often have the condition discovered only after surgical complications. » We recommend that patients with a concern for or a known HCD be referred to the appropriate hematological specialist for workup and treatment. » Tourniquet use in the orthopaedic patient with an HCD is understudied and controversial. We recommend that tourniquets be avoided in the surgical management of patients with an HCD, if possible. When tourniquets are applied to patients with unknown HCD status, close follow-up and vigilant postoperative examinations should be undertaken.

High Prevalence of Sticky Platelet Syndrome in Patients with Infertility and Pregnancy Loss. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8091328.

Abstract
Platelet hyperaggregability, known as sticky platelet syndrome (SPS), is a prothrombotic disorder that has been increasingly associated with pregnancy loss. In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the clinical and diagnostic relevance of SPS in 208 patients with infertility and unexplained pregnancy loss history. We studied 208 patients that had been referred to undergo a dose-dependent platelet aggregation response to adenosine diphosphate and epinephrine using light transmission aggregometry modified by Mammen during an 11-year period. Patients’ platelet aggregation response was compared with platelet function in 29 female healthy controls of fertile age with no previous history of pregnancy loss. We found a prevalence of SPS type II (33.2%) in 208 female patients with infertility and pregnancy loss. ∆-epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation in patients with SPS was significantly decreased (median 7% and range −21 to 43%) compared to patients without SPS (median 59%, range 7–88% and p < 0.0001) and healthy controls (median 57%, range 8–106% and p < 0.0001). The optimum SPS-diagnostic cutoff value for ∆-epinephrine aggregation was ≤32% (sensitivity 95.7%, specificity 95.2%). SPS patients with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) therapy (n = 56) showed improved pregnancy outcome (32 pregnancies; live births n = 18 (56%)) compared to SPS patients without low-dose ASA (n = 13) (3 pregnancies; live births n = 1 (33%)). Our study demonstrates the clinical and diagnostic relevance of platelet hyperaggregation in women with infertility and pregnancy loss history. Further studies should investigate the potential of SPS as a novel decisional tool with both diagnostic and clinical implications in infertility and pregnancy loss.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate GP6 gene in patients with sticky platelet
syndrome (SPS) and fetal loss. Platelet aggregability was tested with
platelet-rich plasma using PACKS-4 aggregometer (Helena Laboratories).
High-resolution melting analysis on LightCycler 480 II (Roche Diagnostics) was
used for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. We examined 64
patients with SPS and 54 control participants. We found significantly higher
occurrence of 5 SNPs in patients with SPS versus controls (rs1671152, rs1654433,
rs1613662, rs1654416, and rs2304167). Moreover, the haplotype analysis showed a
significantly higher occurrence of 7 haplotypes in patients with SPS compared to
controls (acgg and aagg in GP6_5reg haplotype; ccgt in GP6_3reg haplotype; gg
and ta in GP6_REG haplotype; SKTH and PEAN in GP6_PEAN haplotype). Our results,
especially higher occurrence of 4 nonsynonymous variants within the coding
region, support the idea that GP6 polymorphisms are associated with the platelet
hyperaggregability accompanied by fetal loss.

Abstract
Objective: Sticky platelet syndrome (SPS) is an inherited condition that leads to arterial and venous thrombosis. There is scant information about the association between SPS and obstetric complications. This study aimed to assess the relationship between SPS and fetal loss at a single institution. Materials and Methods: The obstetric histories of all consecutive female patients prospectively studied in a 324-month period at a single institution with a history of thrombosis and a clinical marker of primary thrombophilia were reviewed. Results: Between 1989 and 2016, 268 consecutive patients with a clinical marker of primary thrombophilia and a history of arterial or venous thrombosis were studied; of these, 108 were female patients. Within this subset of thrombophilic females, 77 (71%) had been pregnant at some point. Twenty-eight of these 77 patients (37%) had had a spontaneous abortion and 24 of those (86%) were found to have SPS. On the other hand, in a subset of 73 female patients with SPS who had been pregnant, 32% had miscarriages. These figures are significantly higher than the prevalence of spontaneous abortions in the general Mexican population of pregnant women, which is 12%-13% (chi-square: 7.47; p=0.0063). Accordingly, the relative risk of having a miscarriage is 2.66 times higher in female patients with SPS than in the general population (p=0.0014). Conclusion: In Mexico, female patients with SPS experience significantly more spontaneous abortions than the general population. Since the treatment of SPS is simple and effective and could in turn prevent adverse obstetric outcomes, its investigation in women treated for obstetric complications may be useful and deserves further research.

Abstract
Introduction: The sticky platelet syndrome (SPS) is a common cause of thrombosis. There are no prospective studies concerning treatment. Objective: To analyze changes in platelet hyperaggregability of patients with SPS who were given antiplatelet drugs and to assess its association with rethrombosis. Methods: A total of 55 patients with a history of thrombosis and SPS phenotype were prospectively studied before and after treatment with aspirin and/or clopidogrel. Results: Patients were followed for 1 to 129 months, median 13. Of 55 patients, 40 received aspirin, 13 received aspirin + clopidogrel, and 2 received only clopidogrel. The platelet aggregation response to adenosine diphosphate and epinephrine significantly diminished after treatment, and only 2 patients developed rethrombosis 52 and 129 months after starting therapy, with the freedom from rethrombosis rate of the patients being 96.4% at 129 months. Conclusion: Using antiplatelet drugs, the platelet hyperreactivity of patients with the SPS phenotype was reverted; and this translated into a substantial decrease in the rethrombosis rate.
