  1. NA = data not available.
  2. *Autoantibody production was assessed by ELISA.
  3. **Values are the number of focal infiltrates/4 mm2 tissue area containing >50 mononuclear cells.
  4. ***Values are in mm/5 minutes; normal flow >5 mm/5 min. “+” indicates dryness and tear secretion ≤5 mm/5 minutes.
  5. ****Values are in ml/15 minutes; normal flow >1.5 ml/15 minutes. “+” indicates dryness and unstimulated whole saliva secretion ≤1.5 ml/15 minutes.
