Summary: | Objective
Patients with immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the cardiovascular risk of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) remains poorly studied. We aimed to investigate the association between primary SS and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Methods
We performed a systematic review of articles in Medline and the Cochrane Library and recent s from US and European meetings, searching for reports of randomized controlled studies of cardiovascular morbidity and cardiovascular mortality in primary SS. The relative risk (RR) values for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with primary SS were collected and pooled in a meta‐analysis with a random‐effects model by using Review Manager (Cochrane collaboration).
Results
The literature search revealed 484 articles and s of interest; 14 studies (67,124 patients with primary SS) were included in the meta‐analysis. With primary SS versus control populations, the risk was significantly increased for coronary morbidity (RR 1.34 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.06–1.38]; P = 0.01), cerebrovascular morbidity (RR 1.46 [95% CI 1.43–1.49]; P < 0.00001), heart failure rate (odds ratio 2.54 [95% CI 1.30–4.97]; P |
