Batch Analysis

How to prepare the file

• Use one row for each participant.
• Participant references are generated automatically by the platform.
• Enter symptom questionnaire scores in their corresponding columns.
• Enter Right Eye values in columns starting with OD_.
• Enter Left Eye values in columns starting with OS_.
• Meibum Expressibility (0–3) describes the pressure required to achieve expression of the meibomian glands: 0 = Very light pressure; 1 = Mild pressure; 2 = Moderate pressure; 3 = Severe pressure.
• Leave a cell empty when a measurement is not available.
• Do not use 0 to represent missing data. Zero is a valid clinical value in several DECODE measurements.
• Minimum data required: at least one symptom questionnaire (OSDI-6 recommended), at least one TBUT or NIBUT measurement, and Corneal Staining. Participants without the minimum remain in the dataset with unavailable discordance results and an identified reason.
• CSV decimals: use a period, for example 0.30. Do not use a comma because commas separate CSV columns.
• XLSX decimals: use the decimal separator configured in your spreadsheet software. Spanish installations often use 0,30; English installations may use 0.30. Store the value as numeric.

OD = Right Eye   OS = Left Eye

Before uploading

• Do not rename or remove template columns.
• Do not add patient names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other direct identifiers.
• Use only numeric values in clinical measurement columns.
• Keep values within the valid ranges defined by DECODE.
• Empty cells are treated as missing data.
