To investigate the correlation between the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Questionnaire and noninvasive tear breakup times (NITBUTs) obtained by the Keratograph 4 (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) device.
A prospective sequential study of subjects (N = 99) unmatched for sex and without a significant difference in age by sex was performed. Testing included administration of OSDI, followed by Keratograph 4 measurements of the first NITBUT (NITBUT(f)) and average NITBUT (NITBUT(av)).
The NITBUT(f) was significantly shorter than NITBUT(av), as tested by Mann-Whitney statistic (U = 7331.5, <0.0001). The NITBUT(f) and NITBUT(av) demonstrated identical statistically significant Spearman correlations with OSDI (r(s) = -0.20, p = 0.05).
Ocular Surface Disease Index and NITBUT testing by Keratograph 4 device demonstrate a weak, but statistically significant, negative correlation.
研究眼表疾病指数(OSDI)问卷与通过德国韦茨拉尔奥culus公司的角膜地形图仪4获得的无创泪膜破裂时间(NITBUT)之间的相关性。
对99名性别不匹配且年龄无显著性别差异的受试者进行前瞻性序贯研究。测试包括OSDI问卷的发放,随后通过角膜地形图仪4测量首次NITBUT(NITBUT(f))和平均NITBUT(NITBUT(av))。
通过曼-惠特尼统计检验(U = 7331.5,<0.0001),NITBUT(f)显著短于NITBUT(av)。NITBUT(f)和NITBUT(av)与OSDI显示出相同的具有统计学意义的斯皮尔曼相关性(r(s) = -0.20,p = 0.05)。
角膜地形图仪4设备进行的眼表疾病指数和NITBUT测试显示出微弱但具有统计学意义的负相关性。
