Abstract
Objective: To know the association rates between Sjogren's Syndrome (SS) and its ocular complications. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study. Observational studies, in any language, that evaluated the association between SS and ophthalmological complications, included since the creation of the database until July 2020, were included. PubMed articles that associated these themes were classified based on the Strengthening the protocol criteria Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE), a set of recommendations to improve the quality of observational study reports, in appropriate, inadequate and insufficient. Results: Dry eye was the symptom of dry eye disease with the highest association with SS (98.4%). Others more rarely associated were uveitis, orbital inflammation, scleritis, retinal vasculitis and optic neuromyelitis. As for the STROBE criteria, the topics mostly fell into the “Adequate” category. Regarding inadequacy, the topic "Results" presented a higher percentage (16.67%), as well as in the "Insufficient" classification, together with "Discussion" and "Other information". Final considerations: There is great heterogeneity among the analyzed works. Further studies on the topic are necessary, carried out in a standardized manner among the different samples, so that a more reliable comparison between them can be made.
