- Anti-DFS70 positivity rates were 23.3% in SLE, 22.5% in pSS, and 14.1% in SSc patients.
- Univariate analysis showed anti-DFS70-positive SLE patients had lower disease activity scores and less glucocorticoid use.
- Multivariate regression found no independent association between anti-DFS70 positivity and low disease activity in SLE, pSS, or SSc.
- A negative correlation between anti-DFS70 titer and SLEDAI-2K in SLE was confounded by anti-dsDNA and glucocorticoid use.
