Activity Description:
Sjögren’s disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by secretory gland dysfunction. While once believed to be a very rare disorder, an improved understanding and recognition of the diverse clinical manifestations of Sjögren’s disease has revealed it to be a relatively common condition. However, Sjögren’s disease remains a chronically underdiagnosed, and therefore undertreated, disorder. As research advances have increasingly illuminated pathogenic mechanisms in Sjögren’s disease, a new frontier in disease management is expected to emerge, driven by the use of biomarkers and targeted therapies. This activity will discuss differential diagnosis, multidisciplinary management, current and emerging treatment options, and strategies for improving the quality of life for patients affected by Sjögren’s disease.
Learning Objective:
• Evaluate evidence-based strategies for diagnosis and assessment of patients with symptoms suggestive of Sjögren’s disease
• Describe current views of Sjögren’s disease pathogenesis as they relate to diagnosis, treatment, and biomarker development
• Integrate evidence-based recommendations for the management of Sjögren’s disease within the multidisciplinary care team
• Develop strategies to integrate patient perspectives into Sjögren’s disease care plans
