Correlation between the BR3+/CD14+ ratio and clinical features of patients with pSS. BR3+/CD14+ ratios in pSS patients were calculated based on the FACS results. Serum levels of IgG (a) and IgM (b) were plotted against the BR3+/CD14+ ratio for each patient. The ratios in patients with or without anti-Ro/SSA (c) and anti-La/SSB (d) antibodies are shown. The ratios were plotted against their ESSDAI score for each patient (e). Pearson’s correlation analysis was employed to evaluate the linear relationship between two continuous variables. Differences between the groups were statistically analyzed using the two-tailed Student’s t test for single comparison. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001
