| Abstract | Objective: To investigate the differences in ocular surface characteristics, tear film quality, and the incidence of dry eye disease (DED) between Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients and healthy populations. Methods: This age and gender-matched cross-sectional study included 96 SLE patients without secondary Sjögren's syndrome(SS) and 72 healthy subjects .The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), tear meniscus height (TMH), non-invasive tear film breakup time (NIKBUT), meibography, and tear film lipid layer grade were assessed. A receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the predictive value of risk factors. Results: Compared with the control subjects, a significantly greater proportion of SLE patients met the TFOS DEWS II DED diagnostic criteria (34.3% vs 18.1%, P=0.019). SLE patients without SS had higher OSDI scores ( 10.0（4.5,18.0）VS. 5.0（2.5,11.9), P＜0.001), and shorter NIKBUT ( 9.6（6.6,15.0）VS. 12.3（8.4，15.8）, P=0.035).Furthermore, TMH, Tear film lipid layer grade, and Meibomian gland (MG) dropout in SLE patients were worse than those in control subjects (all P＜0. 05). For ROC analysis, the area under curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of prediction were 0.915, 75.8% and 92.1% for the combination of SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) , age and NIKBUT. Conclusions: SLE patients without SS exhibited a higher risk for DED than healthy subjects, and the poorer meibomian gland function in SLE patients may potentially contribute to the development of DED.The combined parameters of SLEDAI, age and NIKBUT showed a high efficiency for the diagonosis of DED in SLE patients, with practical clinical applictaions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
