PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic value of tear osmolarity and several ocular surface parameters in screening for ocular surface alterations in ocular graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) patients. DESIGN: Case-control study. METHODS: Sixty-three patients with ocular GVHD and 74 healthy participants were screened for ocular surface changes using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), tear osmolarity, Schirmer test, tear break-up time (TBUT), and fluorescein corneal staining. The severity of ocular GVHD was diagnosed according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grading system. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity and cutoff values were determined for each ocular parameter using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) analysis. Significance was defined at P < .05. RESULTS: The tear osmolarity, corneal staining score, and OSDI score gradually increased as the severity of ocular GVHD increased, and Schirmer value gradually decreased as the GVHD grade increased in severity. The Schirmer test showed greatest diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for ocular GVHD (92.1% sensitivity, 85.7% specificity, cutoff = 9 mm), followed by the TBUT (87.3% sensitivity, 75.0% specificity, cutoff = 6 s), tear osmolarity (98.4% sensitivity, 60.7% specificity, cutoff = 311 mOsm/L), corneal staining score (66.7% sensitivity, 82.1% specificity, cutoff = 2), and OSDI score (77.8% sensitivity, 66.1% specificity, cutoff = 20.8). CONCLUSIONS: Multiple diagnostic modalities should be used to detect ocular surface changes in GVHD patients. The severity of ocular GVHD can be effectively monitored using tear osmolarity; however, additional studies are required. (C) 2015 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
