Objectives: Digestive involvement (DI) has been reported in 10-30% of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients, and few studies have systematically analysed the prevalence of DI in pSS patients. The aim of this study was to describe DI prevalence in pSS patients from the Sjögrenser Study, and to analyse its clinical associations.
Methods: All patients included in the Sjögrenser study, a Spanish multicentre randomised cohort, containing demographic, clinical and histologic data, have been analysed retrospectively.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated factors linked to osteoporosis (OP) and fragility fractures in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) using data from 437 patients across 33 Spanish rheumatology departments.
- - Findings revealed that 18.5% of the participants had OP, with significant associations found between OP and factors such as age, duration of the disease, and past corticosteroid treatment.
- - The analysis indicated that both age and disease duration were also associated with fragility fractures, highlighting the increased risk for patients with pSS as they get older and as their condition progresses.
Objective: To compare the prevalence of the main comorbidities in 2 large cohorts of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with a focus on cardiovascular (CV) diseases.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional multicenter study where the prevalence of more relevant comorbidities in 2 cohorts was compared. Patients under followup from SJOGRENSER (Spanish Rheumatology Society Registry of Primary SS) and RELESSER (Spanish Rheumatology Society Registry of SLE), and who fulfilled the 2002 American-European Consensus Group and 1997 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria, respectively, were included.
