Evaluation of the Prevalence of Functional Digestive Disorders During Primary Sjögren Gougerot Syndrome

Primary Sjögren syndrome (SGSp) is an autoimmune disease defined by the association of sicca syndrome in the absence of other connective tissues (ie rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, dermatopolymyositis). SGSp is complicated by several visceral involvements (pulmonary, renal, neurological, systemic vasculitis ...) and by a chronic alteration of the quality of life related to asthenia, chronic pain and sicca syndrome. Two European-validated scales are currently used in daily clinical practice to assess these two facets of the disease, respectively EUSSAR Sjogren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) and ESSDAI (EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index). Neither of these two scores evaluate the digestive impairment. Indeed, digestive complaints have been evaluated in a few studies, with a prevalence of 30 to 65%. The precise etiopathogeny of such digestive involvements remains unknown.
