Increased risk of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients with Sjögren’s syndrome: Nationwide population-based cohort study

BMJ Open Feb 18, 2019

Overall, the NHIRD identified 13,398 patients diagnosed with SS. Patients with SS exhibited a significantly increased incidence of ONJ vs that of controls at the end of the follow-up period.
