  1. aScores were as in the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria; or depending on the number of concordant antibodies as 5 for 3, 3 for 2, and 1 for 1 antibodies; or combining the two criteria as 5 for 3 or 2 antibodies with high titres, 3 for 3 or 2 antibodies with low titres, and 1 for 1 antibody irrespective of the titres
  2. bClassification was done with logistic regression including the non-serological and the serological criteria and adjusted to obtain 80% sensitivity
