Clinical and histological features of patients with primary Sj ögren's syndrome and autoimmune thyroiditis: a national multicentre cross-sectional study

CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest study evaluating the coexistence of pSS and AT. We confirm a high association between pSS and AT and describe the presence of a different phenotype characterized by a higher rate of celiac disease and fibromyalgia. Although not significant, the lower prevalence of both lymphoma and intake of DMARDs, along with a significantly lower focus score and number of foci, possibly suggest a more favourable outcome in concomitant pSS and AT which further deserve future investigations.PMID:38149510 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/eh36vs
