Application of lacrimal gland ultrasonography in the evaluation of chronic ocular graft-versus-host-disease by Mingxia Zhong, Siyuan Liu, Jinghan Luo, Qin Zhang, Zhou Yang, Shanshan Zhang

“…Statistical analyses were performed to determine differences in ocular surface conditions and lacrimal gland ultrasonographic parameters between groups as well as to determine the correlation between ocular surface condition and lacrimal gland ultrasonographic findings.Result(1) Patients with definite and probable oGVHD exhibited a significantly longer duration after allo-HSCT compared to non-oGVHD patients (H=11.264, p<0.01), The median durations were 247(164,894) days and 525(310,928) days, respectively, compared to 204(169,323.25) days for non-oGVHD patients. (2) Compared to non-oGVHD patients, both definite oGVHD patients and probable oGVHD patients showed lower average of Schirmer test (H=31.188, p<0.01), TBUT (H=11.853, p<0.01), tear meniscus height (H=13.630, p<0.01) and higher average of OSDI (F=27.992, p<0.01), corneal staining scores (χ²=23.66, p<0.05) and temporal conjunctival staining scores (χ²=14.84, p<0.05). (3) The B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography parameters in lacrimal glands including long diameter, thick diameter, homogeneity and parenchymal vascularization did not exhibit significant differences between the three groups. (4) The long diameter in lacrimal ultrasonography had significantly positive correlations with tear meniscus height (r=0.297, p<0.05) and significantly negative correlations with temporal conjunctival staining scores (r=-0.313, p<0.05) and staining total scores (r=-0.285, p<0.05). …”
