Objectives: To examine the influence of ethnicity on the clinical presentationof primary Sjögren syndrome (SjS) by measuring the systemic activity (ESSDAIscore) at the time of diagnosis.Methods: The Big Data Sjögren Project is an international,multicentre registryformed in 2014 to take a ?high-definition? worldwide picture of the main featuresof primary SjS at diagnosis by merging international SjS databases. ByOctober 2017, the database included 9545 consecutive patients recruited from22 countries of the five continents. Systemic involvement was defined accordingto the ESSDAI/clinESSDAI. Disease activity states (DAS) were categorizedaccording to the global ESSDAI score as low-activity (ESSDAI
