"Sjögren disease is the second most common autoimmune disorder after rheumatoid arthritis. There is a recognised female predilection with female-to-male ratio of ~9:1. Patients typically present around the 4th to 5th decades."
"There is no specific treatment established at this time. Treatment is based on the individual presentation and disease activity. Disease modifying therapy is reserved for those with extra glandular involvement, however, there is a lack of evidence to support this. Randomised control trials are needed to investigate efficacy of disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics. 30"
