Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose To investigate clinical factors associated with abnormal retinal morphologies in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Methods One-hundred-thirty patients with pSS who underwent immunoserological tests, minor salivary gland biopsies, and optical coherence tomography examinations were retrospectively analyzed. Risk factors for abnormally reduced peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGCIPL) thicknesses were evaluated, as well as the correlation between clinical factors and pRNFL and mGCIPL thicknesses. Results Anti-Sjögren's syndrome type B (SSB) antibody positivity (P = 0.048) was identified as a risk factor associated with abnormally reduced pRNFL thickness, and anti-SSB positivity (P = 0.005) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) level (P = 0.031) were identified as risk factors associated with an abnormally reduced mGCIPL thickness as revealed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. There was a significant negative correlation between anti-SSB antibody levels and the thickness of pRNFL and mGCIPL. The thicknesses of pRNFL and mGCIPL were significantly reduced in anti-SSB-positive eyes when compared to anti-SSB-negative eyes (P < 0.05). However, histopathologic grading was not associated with the pRNFL and mGCIPL thicknesses. Conclusion Anti-SSB antibody positivity and ESR levels may be useful for predicting an abnormally reduced pRNFL or mGCIPL thickness in patients with pSS. Our results may provide clinical evidence to substantiate the association between aberrant autoimmunity and inner retinal changes in patients with pSS.
