[Diagnostic performances of salivary gland ultrasonography for Sjögren's syndrome].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic performances of salivary gland ultrasonography(SGUS)in Sjögren's syndrome(SS). METHODS: test was used to compare the difference of salivary gland ultrasonic scores between the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of SGUS in diagnosing SS, and the disease characteristics of SGUS positive group and negative group in the SS patients were compared. RESULTS: < 0.001) in the patients with SS. CONCLUSION: The OMERACT ultrasonic scoring system has high diagnostic value in SS. The combination of SGUS and anti-SSA antibody can improve the diagnostic value.
