Scatter graphs illustrating the correlations between the levels (in logarithmic values) of (A) neutrophil collagenase (MMP-8) and gelatinase B (MMP-9), (B) MMP-8 and myeloperoxidase (MPO), (C) MMP-9 and MPO and (D) matrilysin (MMP-7) and MPO in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) and healthy control (controls) tears using Spearman rank correlation tests. The best fit lines: SJS (-.-), OCP (---) and controls (…). (A) In SJS (7 eyes), OCP (36 eyes) and controls (38 eyes) tears, significant correlation was found in all study groups: SJS (r = 0.96, P<0.01), OCP (r = 0.87, P<0.0001) and controls (r = 0.78, P<0.0001). (B) In SJS (7 eyes), OCP (22 eyes) and controls (32 eyes) tears, correlation was found in all study groups. Significance was achieved in OCP (r = 0.84, P<0.0001) and controls (r = 0.68, P<0.0001) but not in SJS (r = 0.75, P = 0.067). (C) In SJS (7 eyes), OCP (21 eyes) and controls (32 eyes) tears, significant correlation was found in all study groups: SJS (r = 0.85, P<0.05), OCP (r = 0.93, P<0.0001) and controls (r = 0.91, P<0.0001). (D) In SJS (7 eyes), OCP (22 eyes) and controls (30 eyes) tears, no significant correlation was demonstrated in all study groups: SJS (r = 0.68, P = 0.11), OCP (0.26, P = 0.24) and controls (r = 0.089, P = 0.64).
