EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI): a user guide

Abstract: The EULAR Sjögren's syndrome (SS) disease activity index (ESSDAI) is a systemic disease activity index that was designed to measure disease activity in patients with primary SS. With the growing use of the ESSDAI, some domains appear to be more challenging to rate than others. The ESSDAI is now in use as a gold standard to measure disease activity in clinical studies, and as an outcome measure, even a primary outcome measure, in current randomised clinical trials. Therefore, ensuring an accurate and reproducib… Show more

“…ESSDAI information of six patients was not available. Patients with ongoing or past organ involvement fulfilling the criteria of at least low activity in any organ domain of ESSDAI28 were considered as patients with extraglandular manifestations (n=16), while patients without systemic involvement were considered as solely suffering from glandular disease (n=15). Biological activity, indicated by parameters such as complement consumption or hypergammaglobulinemia, and constitutional symptoms were not taken into account for subset defintions.…”

“…The following clinical symptoms occurred in pSS patients' history: sicca syndrome (100%), labial salivary gland biopsy positivity for focal lymphocytic sialadenitis with focus score ≥ 1(80%), blood cytopenia (anemia or leukopenia) (87%), arthritis (67%), vasculitis (53%), anti-SSA/SSB antibody positivity (100%), low C3/C4 complement level (47%), renal involvement (13%), fever and night sweats (20%), lymphadenopathy (20%), weight loss (33%), myositis (7%), and peripheral neuropathy (20%). The EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity (ESSDAI) scores were calculated at the [19]. The median ESSDAI score was 2 which is consistent with low disease activity.…”

“…Background: The useful tool to assessing disease activity in primary Sjögren's syndrome(pSS) is an EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index (ESS-DAI)[. 1,2 Objectives: The aim of this study was indication of laboratory and clinical factors affecting the ESSDAI in pSS patients. Methods: 75 pSS patients were included; 65 (87%) female, 10 (13%)men; mean age 50 years SD ±15.…”
