Popis: The objective of this chapter is to describe the evolution of, and critically assess, the various diagnostic and classification criteria for Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) first published in 1965. This chapter provides a historical perspective on the natural history of SS and the various diagnostic tests that have proven useful over time and are individual criteria items within the classification criteria set for SS most recently approved by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR). We also summarize the guidelines and important steps recommended by the relevant ACR and EULAR committees for the development and validation of criteria for the rheumatic diseases. Finally, we describe the development and validation of the 2016 ACR-EULAR classification criteria for SS as part of a large international collaborative effort.
