  • Diagnosing Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is challenging due to overlapping symptoms, leading to the use of two classification criteria, AECG 2002 and ACR-EULAR 2016.
  • A study of 237 SLE patients found a SS prevalence of 23% using AECG 2002 and 35% using ACR-EULAR 2016, with significant predictors for SS identified.
  • The ACR-EULAR 2016 criteria help in early diagnosis and understanding the overlap between SS and SLE, though they haven't been validated specifically for secondary SS yet.*
