To study the relationship of the presence of secondary SS with disease activity, duration in RA.
Eighty two patients with RA were submitted to Schirmer test, minor salivary gland biopsy, questionnaire on sicca symptoms, DAS-28 4v determination.
In this population, 20 (24.3%) patients fulfilled the American-European classification criteria for secondary SS. No relation could be found between the presence of secondary SS and disease activity (p = 0.31) and RA duration (p = 0.95).
Appearance of Secondary SS in RA patients is independent of RA duration or activity.

对82例RA患者进行了Schirmer试验、小唾液腺活检、干燥症状问卷调查、DAS-28 4v测定。
在该人群中,20例(24.3%)患者符合继发性SS的欧美分类标准。继发性SS的存在与疾病活动度(p = 0.31)和RA病程(p = 0.95)之间未发现相关性。
