Shear-Wave Elastography Evaluation of Major Salivary Glands and Correlation with B-mode Findings in Patients with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Salivary-gland ultrasound has recently shown to help in the diagnosis and monitoring of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS)1. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a promising tool…Abstract Number: 0311 • ACR Convergence 2021
Ultra High‐frequency Ultrasound (UHFUS) of Labial Glands in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome: Serological and Histological Correlations
Background/Purpose: Last‐generation ultra high‐frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) transducers are highly sensitive tools potentially able to open new avenues for the identification of imaging biomarkers. Recently UHFUS…Abstract Number: 0984 • ACR Convergence 2021
Human Papillomavirus Infection Increases Risk of Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome: A Population-based Cohort Study over a 15-year Follow-up
Background/Purpose: Viral infection has been considered as an exogeneous risk factor for primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS). We determined whether human papillomavirus (HPV) infection was associated…Abstract Number: 0296 • ACR Convergence 2021
The Impact of Delayed Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome Diagnosis on Patient Outcomes: A Real-World Survey in the US
