RESUMEN

Introducción y objetivos: El síndrome de Sjögren (SS) es una enfermedad autoinmune con un amplio espectro de manifestaciones clínicas que puede generar un importante impacto en la calidad de vida del paciente. Para hacer una evaluación objetiva de los componentes de la enfermedad se han diseñado herramientas clinimétricas como el ESSPRI. El objetivo de este estudio es hacer una adaptación de esta escala al idioma castellano. Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal de validación de escalas clinimétricas llevado a cabo en Cali, Colombia. Se realizó una traducción de la versión original en inglés del ESSPRI al castellano y se aplicó a pacientes con SS, al igual que el PROFAD y el ESSDAI, como marcador de actividad. Se calculó el índice de confiabilidad del cuestionario en castellano con coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, así como el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman para comparar las escalas. Se evaluaron también características demográficas, clínicas y de laboratorio. Resultados: Se aplicó el ESSPRI, PROFAD y ESSDAI a 42 pacientes con SS; el 97,62% fueron mujeres. El resultado promedio del ESSPRI fue 5,8 (±4,6), con un coeficiente de confiabilidad de 0,8034 y una correlación con el PROFAD de 0,5800 (p=0,0001) y de −0,0848 (p=0,593) con el ESSDAI. Discusión y conclusiones: La confiabilidad con la versión aplicada del ESSPRI en castellano fue adecuada. Se encontró una discordancia entre esta escala y el ESSDAI, lo cual remarca la importancia de aplicar ambas herramientas para asegurar un seguimiento objetivo del control de la enfermedad y su impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes con SS.(AU)

Introduction and objectives: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations that can have an important impact on the patient's quality of life.

Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study to validate clinimetric scales, carried out in Cali, Colombia. A translation of the original English version of ESSPRI into Spanish was made and applied to patients with SS, as well as PROFAD and ESSDAI, as an activity marker. The reliability index of the questionnaire in Spanish with Cronbach's alpha coefficient and Spearman's correlation coefficient were calculated to compare the scales. Demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics were also evaluated. Results: ESSPRI, PROFAD and ESSDAI were applied to 42 patients with SS, 97.62% were women. The average result of the ESSPRI was 5.8 (±4.6), with a reliability coefficient of .8034 and a correlation with PROFAD of .5800 (P=.0001), and of −.0848 (P=.593) with ESSDAI. Discussion and conclusions: Reliability with the applied version of ESSPRI in Spanish was adequate. A discrepancy was found between this scale and ESSDAI, which highlights the importance of applying both tools to ensure objective monitoring of disease control and its impact on the quality of life of patients with SS.(AU)

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Reliability with the applied version of ESSPRI in Spanish was adequate. A discrepancy was found between this scale and ESSDAI, which highlights the importance of applying both tools to ensure objective monitoring of disease control and its impact on the quality of life of patients with SS.
