Abstract
Classification criteria for Sjögren's syndrome (SS) were developed and validated between
1989 and 1996 by the European Study Group on Classification Criteria for SS, and broadly
accepted. These have been re-examined by consensus group members, who have introduced
some modifications, more clearly defined the rules for classifying patients with primary
or secondary SS, and provided more precise exclusion criteria.
