A dry eye history questionnaire was completed by 500 patients who presented for the correction of refractive errors (normals), and 68 patients with previously diagnosed sicca syndrome. Subsamples of females over 45 years were extracted for comparison, and discriminant analysis yielded correct classification for 62 of 63 sicca subjects and 36 of 37 normals, representing 98% sensitivity and 97% specificity. An equivocal classification that warranted supplementary diagnostic procedures was indicated for 5% of subjects. The results indicated that the use of the questionnaire will obviate the need for supplementary ocular sicca examination procedures for the majority of patients presenting for an ocular examination.
500名前来矫正屈光不正的患者（正常组）以及68名先前被诊断为干燥综合征的患者完成了干眼病史问卷调查。抽取45岁以上女性的子样本进行比较，判别分析对63名干燥综合征患者中的62名以及37名正常组中的36名做出了正确分类，灵敏度为98%，特异度为97%。5%的受试者需要进行补充诊断程序，分类结果不明确。结果表明，对于大多数前来进行眼科检查的患者，使用该问卷将无需进行补充的眼干燥症检查程序。
