Table 1. Baseline demographic data for AT- and DQS-treated groups.
| Schirmer 1 test (mm) | TMR (mm) | FBUT (seconds) | Fluorescein score (cornea) (0–15) | Fluorescein score (conjunctiva) (0–6) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 3.2±2.5 | 0.18±0.09 | 1.5±1.1 | 7.1±3.0 | 5.4±1.0 |
| DQS | 3.6±2.4 | 0.16±0.07 | 1.4±1.3 | 5.8±3.6 | 5.2±1.1 |
| P-value | 0.511 | 0.225 | 0.928 | 0.226 | 0.281 |
Abbreviations: AT, artificial tear solution; DQS, 3% diquafosol sodium ophthalmic solution; FBUT, fluorescein break-up time; TMR, tear meniscus radius.
Data values are mean±SD. P-values were calculated by use of the Paired t-test for Schirmer 1 test, TMR, and FBUT, and by use of Wilcoxon signed-rank test for fluorescein scores.
