Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Subsequent Thrombo-occlusive Events in Patients with Ischemic Stroke
JAMA 291:576-584, The APASS Investigators, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The presence of aPL (either LA or aCL) among patients with ischemic stroke does not predict either increased risk for subsequent vascular occlusive events over 2 years or a differential response to aspirin or warfarin therapy. Routine screening for aPL in patients with ischemic stroke does not appear warranted.
