EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI): development of a consensus patient index for primary Sjögren's syndrome

Abstract

ESSPRI is a very simple index designed to measure patients' symptoms in primary SS. It has good construct validity and is well correlated with SSI and PROFAD. ESSPRI should now be validated for use as an outcome measure in clinical trials.

Effects of periodontal treatment on primary sjȫgren’s syndrome symptoms

“…19,26 Studies in oral health show that pSS patients have a diminished salivary flow with consequent high incidence of dental caries, increased susceptibility to oral candidiasis, tooth loss, greater periodontal destruction, pain symptoms during chewing, speech difficulties, tongue palpitation and angular cheilitis. 5,6,27,28,29,30,31,32 The present study demonstrated that the decreased salivary flow in pSS patients was associated with higher PI, and a significant imbalance between the concentration of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines.…”

“…using the EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI), which is calculated by an arithmetic mean, and composed of 3 domains (dry mouth, fatigue and pain). 19 Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and salivary sample analysis…”

Qualidade de vida oral e sistemica na Sindrome de Sjogren Primaria

“…Sendo a SS uma doença sistémica com grande foco semiológico a nível oral, para profissionais de saúde revela-se importante analisar a componente oral e sistémica numa avaliação global da qualidade de vida. [9][10][11]31 Como tal, espera-se a progressão futura da investigação na área.…”

Can the mean platelet volume be a predictor of disease activity in primary Sjogren syndrome?

“…Disease activity was calculated according to the EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity (ESSDAI) and patient reported index (ESSPRI). [3][4] A well written informed consent was received from all study participants and the study was approved by the institutional review and ethical committee.…”
