Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a systemic autoimmune exocrinopathy with key features of dryness, pain, and fatigue. SjD can affect any organ system with a variety of presentations across individuals. This heterogeneity is one of the major barriers for developing effective disease modifying treatments. Defining core disease domains comprising both specific clinical features and incorporating the patient experience is a critical first step to define this complex disease. The OMERACT SjD Working Group held its first international collaborative hybrid meeting in 2023, applying the OMERACT 2.2 filter toward identification of core domains. We accomplished our first goal, a scoping literature review that was presented at the Special Interest Group held in May 2023. Building on the domains identified in the scoping review, we uniquely deployed multidisciplinary experts as part of our collaborative team to generate a provisional domain list that captures SjD heterogeneity.

Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (pHLH) is a severe, life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome caused by defects in genes of the granule-dependent cytotoxic pathway. Here we investigated the clinical presentation and outcome in a large cohort of 143 patients with pHLH diagnosed in the last 15 years and enrolled in the Italian registry. The median age at diagnosis was 12 months (interquartile range, 2-81), and 92 patients (64%) fulfilled the HLH-2004 criteria.
