Classification of Sjogren Syndrome is based on a weighted sum of _____ items
First 2 are ___ points
Last 3 are ____ points
Primary Sjogren’s must have a score of…
5
3 points each
1 point each
4 or greater
What are the 5 items
Anti-SSA/Ro or Anti-SSB/La antibody
focal lymphocytic sialadenitis (more than 1 foci/4mm2)

True
Clinical signs/symptoms of Sjogren’s:
dry eyes, corneal ulcerations/infections, difficulty swallowing, hearburn, reflux, dry nose, nose bleeds, dry mouth, mouth sores, dental decay, etc
Oral complications of Sjogren’s and Xerostomia:
Dry mouth
Parotid swelling

5 clinical assessments for salivary gland disease:
Palpation
Sialometry
imaging
biopsy
serology
5 Red Flags for salivary gland disease:
Facial nerve paralysis

fixed masses
presence of cervical lymphadenopathy
smaller gland = higher risk of malignancy
