A total of one hundred five patients who underwent mSGB at a tertiary rheumatology center over a two-year period were included in the study. Demographic and disease characteristics of patients were recorded from electronic health records. The histopathological evaluation of the mSG was performed according to focus score (FS). The ESSDAI and ESSPRI scores were used for disease activity.
