The European League Against Rheumatism EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index ESSDAI was constructed from a study consensus of the EULAR group
higher values of ESSDAI accompany higher values of disease activity assessed by the physician,
operational equivalences of ESSDAI were verified at the time of the translation
Table 4 presents the mean and median of ESSDAI; in the active group,
The translation of the ESSDAI was performed independently by two English teachers whose native language is Brazilian Portuguese,
For construct validity, the ESSDAI was compared with the following tools:
The ESSDAI was also compared with the"intention to treat" on the day of medical assessment compared to the previous evaluation.
The analysis by the Bland-Altman plot Fig. 1 presented a good interobserver agreement of ESSDAI, with only three patients outside the standard deviation interval of± 1.96 outliers.
The authors conclude that the Brazilian Portuguese version of ESSDAI was shown to be adaptable, reproducible, and valid for this language.
Currently there are four validated tools useful for studying Sjógren's syndrome in Brazil ESSDAI, ESSPRI, PROFAD and FACIT.
with an ICC 0.67 P 0.06 for ESSDAI.
which may have contributed to its poor correlation with ESSDAI.
There are no other studies in the literature that used this type of evaluation per groups for ESSDAI to compare these results.
The PASS is similar to the concept of low-disease activity for the EULAR SS disease activity index ESSDAI; i.e., ESSDAI< 5.
particularly in pSS where disease activity ESSDAI and patients' symptoms ESSPRI did not correlate.
This low activity was confirmed by the mean total score of 4.95 with ESSDAI 0-39, in which 11.3% of patients had a score>=12.
When comparing the ESSDAI according to the intention to treat between the groups, a statistically significant difference was observed between the groups P 0.000 Table 4.
When analyzing the results of ESSDAI interobserver agreement by the Bland-Altman method,
The authors would like to thank the EULAR Sjögren's Task Force group for granting the consent to publish ESSDAI in its entirety in the Brazilian Journal of Rheumatology.
The procedures to perform the transcultural adaptation of ESSDAI followed the methodology proposed by Herdman et al.,
