Abstract
The national incidence of pSS in Korea presented in this study was lower in comparison with reports from other countries. However, the mortality rate was significantly higher than the corresponding values in the age- and gender-matched general population. The higher mortality in pSS patients is attributable to respiratory diseases and lung cancer.
