Assessment of Serum Cytokine Levels in Keratoconus Patients.

Similarly, IL-1β levels correlated positively with keratometry indices, with values between r = 0.307 (K1, near significance) and r = 0.345 (Kmax, p = 0.027).

Body mass index (BMI) showed a trend toward higher values in stable KC patients (28.20 ± 7.84 kg/m 2 ) compared to both progressive patients (24.75 ± 3.62 kg/m 2 ) and healthy controls (25.69 ± 4.46 kg/m 2 ), though this difference did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.143).

When stratifying the KC patients by disease severity, we observed a counterintuitive trend in IL-6 levels, with concentrations progressively decreasing with increasing disease severity (9.0240 ± 7.6352 ng/mL in mild, 7.0017 ± 5.8027 ng/mL in moderate, and 6.342 ± 3.3310 ng/mL in severe KC), although this pattern failed to reach statistical significance ( p = 0.593).
