Increased risk of thyroid disease in patients with Sjogren's syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.


ABSTRACT: Background:Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune epithelitis characterized by disruption of epithelial cells, ensuing lymphoplasmocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, and subsequent dryness of the mouth and eyes. Individuals with SS are more likely to have the thyroid disease. However, this association remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the risk of thyroid disease in patients with SS. Methods:We performed this systematic review by searching both English and Chinese literature databases. Random- or fixed-effects models were used to summarize the association between thyroid disease and SS. The results were subjected to meta-analysis with odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results:The eight articles in this meta-analysis included 988 SS cases and 2,884 controls. Overall, the risk of thyroid disease in patients with SS was significantly increased compared with controls (OR, 3.29; 95% CI [2.08-5.21]). The risk of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and non-AITD were also higher in patients with SS than in controls (OR, 3.48; 95% CI [1.59-7.63]; and OR, 2.90; 95% CI [1.51-5.57], respectively). Conclusions:To the best of our knowledge, this systematic review is the first to demonstrate that the risk of thyroid disease was increased in SS compared to controls, suggesting that SS patients should be screened for thyroid disease.
