  • Figures in brackets represent within antibody group percentages. n represents data available for analysis per variable (of a total of 311). p Value is derived from logistic regression.

  • *Adjusted (for anti-SSA antibodies, presence of autoimmune disorders, age at disease onset, gender and comorbidities) OR 2.11, 95% CI 0.52 to 8.67, p=0.297.

  • †One patient found positive for anti-SRP antibodies. In this case, no relevant clinical correlation was identified, and the relevance of this finding is uncertain.
