Each clinical measure was analyzed in a separate logistic regression model including each antibody as the dependent variable and the clinical measure, age, sex, and other serologic markers as independent variables. Values represent hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Bolded values represent p < 0.05. SSA: Sjögren's syndrome-related antigen A; SSB: Sjögren's syndrome-related antigen B; RF: rheumatoid factor; ANA: antinuclear antibody; SP1: salivary protein 1; CA6: carbonic anhydrase 6; PSP: parotid secretory antigen; OSS: ocular staining score.
