What is Comparison of the performance of the dry eye questionnaire (DEQ-5) to the ocular surface disease index in a non-clinical population about?
## Objective: To compare the performance of the dry eye questionnaire (deq-5) with the ocular surface disease index (osdi) and further validate the deq-5 questionnaire. ## Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study conducted in ghana. osdi and deq-5 questionnaires were administered to participants. cronbach's alpha was used to evaluate the reliability of the osdi and deq-5 questionnaires. analysis of variance was used to evaluate the discriminant validity of deq-5. concurrent validity was evaluated using the spearman correlation analysis. a receiver operating characteristic (roc) curve was generated to describe the sensitivity and specificity of the deq-5 questionnaire for diagnosis of dry eye symptoms. cohen kappa was used to evaluate agreement between the two questionnaires. ## Results: The reliability of the overall osdi and deq-5 scores were 0.919 and 0.819 respectively. the mean (sd) deq-5 scores for asymptomatic, mild, moderate and severe dry eye symptoms as defined by the osdi grading were 3.05 (2.73), 5.13 (3.69), 7.65 (3.30) and 9.77 (4.16) respectively. there was a statistically significant correlation between total osdi and total deq-5 scores (r = 0.649, p < 0.000
