CRP and dry eye syndrome: The area under the ROC curve (a Uc ) values for CRP WBC, and TC were 0.791, 0.770, and 0.757, respectively, while the combined model yielded an AUC of 0.936, indicating superior diagnostic performance (P&lt; 0.01).<h4>Conclusions</h4>CRP, WBC, and TC levels are clinically accessible biochemical parameters that hold significant predictive value for dry eye syndrome following cataract surgery.Combined detection enhances prognostic accuracy andmay guide early intervention strategies to reduce postoperative complications.
