Anti-SSA/Ro60 and anti-Ro52/TRIM21 analyzed together as independent variables by binary logistic regression analysis adjusted for sex and age (at diagnosis and time of analysis). Other autoantibodies also included as independent variable after selection by forward step procedure: aanti-dsDNA (negative association), banti-SS-B (positive association), canti-SSB (negative association), danti-dsDNA (positive association), eanti-cardiolipin (positive association), fanti-RNP (positive association), g , and hnot statistically analysed.
