Figure 4

Analysis of the correlations between the parametric changes in MGD and changes in OSS or NIKBUT in Cohort I at one month postoperatively. ((a)-(d)) The correlation between the change in OSS and changes in lid margin score, meibum quality score, meibum expressibility score, and meibography score, respectively. ((e)-(h)) The correlation between the change in NIKBUT with changes in lid margin score, meibum quality score, meibum expressibility score, and meibography score, respectively (P < 0.001, P < 0.01, P < 0.05).
