Description
Summary:Objective: The aim was to investigate prevalence and degree of ocular and oral involvement in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS). Method: We analysed 134 participants from the Korean Initiative of PSS cohort who completed a 2 year follow-up oral and ocular sign test. The severity of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) was determined with the Schirmer I test value (STV) [abnormal (AB) ≤ 5 mm/5 min; normal (N) > 5 mm/5 min]. Salivary gland dysfunction (SGD) was determined by unstimulated whole salivary (UWS) flow rate [moderate to severe (MS)
