摘要:Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most common lung manifestation in patients with Sjögren syndrome (SJS) and is associated with poor outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the long-term clinical course and prognostic factors in patients with SJS-ILD. Clinical data and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images of 62 patients with primary SJS-ILD were retrospectively analyzed (biopsy-proven cases, n = 16). The mean patient age was 59.8 years; 83.9% of the patients were females, and 38.7% showed a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on HRCT. The median follow-up period was 61.5 months. During follow-up, 15 patients (24.2%) died, 7 (11.3%) experienced acute exacerbation (AE), and 27 (43.5%) progressed. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 93.5%, 85.8%, and 81.1%, respectively.
