THU0282 EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CUTANEOUS INVOLVEMENT IN SJÖGREN’S SYNDROME: DATA FROM THREE FRENCH POPULATIONS OF PSS (TEARS, ASSESS, DIAPSS)

Background: Cutaneous involvement is common during primary Sjogren’s Syndrome (pSS) but prevalence and characteristics are difficult to establish precisely because of the limited number of patients studied in most cohorts, the variability of the disorders evaluated in each cohort, the rarity of some of them, and the heterogeneity of evaluations from previous studies (1). Objectives: To determine the prevalence and significance of dermatological disorders in primary Sjogren Syndrome. Methods: We use 2 French cohorts (ASSESS, in which prevalence of skin disorders in 395 pSS patients was evaluated, and diapSS in which 91 consecutive pSS patients had an examination by a dermatologist) and baseline data of the TEARS randomized trial (110 patients with recent or active pSS, treated with rituximab or placebo, and evaluated for skin dryness using a visual analogue scale out of 100). Results: Skin manifestations included in the ESSDAI were rare in the ASSESS cohort (n=16/395, 4.1%, mainly purpuras; only 3 had high activity) but associated with activity in the other ESSDAI domains (peripheral neurological (p 50; 48.2%) and that these dry skin patients had higher pain VAS (61.5+/-28.2 vs 46.8+/-27.0; p=0.003) and drought (79.4+/-15.2 vs 62.5+/-21.7; p Conclusion: The most common skin disorder is dryness, which is associated with a higher level of pain and overall subjective dryness. ESSDAI skin activity is rare, associated with hypergammaglobulinemia and ESSDAI activity.
