Comparison of Mycotic Keratitis with Nonmycotic Keratitis: An Epidemiological Study

Table 3

Family size and crowding index among mycotic and nonmycotic keratitis.

	Mycotic keratitis		Nonmycotic keratitis
	Number	%	Number	%
Family size
<4	72	20	173	36.6
4–6	151	41.8	204	43.1
>6	138	38.2	96	20.3
Crowding index
<2	118	32.7	212	44.8
>2	243	67.3	261	55.2

The difference was statistically significant in case of family index ( = 10.67, = 0.004) while it was insignificant in case of crowding index ( = 3.03, = 0.081).
