Article Synopsis
- This study aims to determine if the testing time for unstimulated whole salivary flow (UWSF) can be shortened to 5 minutes for patients suspected of having Sjögren's syndrome (SjS).
- The results show a strong correlation between UWSF measurements at 5 and 10 minutes, indicating high predictive values for assessing salivary gland function.
- The findings suggest that for SjS patients with certain UWSF thresholds, further testing with stimulated whole salivary flow (SWSF) can be bypassed, streamlining the diagnostic process.
