Correlations between dry eye or MGD and chronic GVHD
| Chronic GVHD (+) n=27 | Chronic GVHD (−) n=17 | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry eye (+) | 19 (70.4%) | 3 (17.7%) | <0.005 |
| Dry eye (−) | 8 (29.6%) | 14 (82.3%) | |
| Severity of dry eye | |||
| Severe | 10 (37.4%) | 0 (0.0%) | <0.001 |
| Mild | 9 (33.3%) | 3 (17.7%) | |
| Dry eye (−) | 8 (29.6%) | 14 (82.3%) | |
| MGD (+) | 17 (63.0%) | 4 (23.5%) | <0.05 |
| MGD (−) | 10 (37.0%) | 13 (76.5%) | |
| MGD score (SD) | 1.1 (0.9) | 0.3 (0.6) | <0.005 |
GVHD (+) = graft versus host disease in organs other than the eyes (+); MGD = meibomian gland dysfunction.
