在马拉维下夏尔河谷和印度尼西亚亚齐省调查的学龄前儿童中，对干眼症在村庄和家庭中的聚集性进行了评估。在马拉维的同一儿童中，沙眼聚类也进行了类似的评估。沙眼在村庄和家庭中的聚集性远高于干眼症。干眼症聚类对未来调查或干预的样本量考虑的影响在马拉维和印度尼西亚是相似的。干眼症的村聚集性将需要两倍的样本量增加。在没有村聚类的情况下，家庭聚类对样本量几乎没有影响。沙眼的村庄聚集将需要增加9倍的样本量。家庭聚类将使样本量需求增加26%。
The clustering of xerophthalmia in villages and in households was assessed among preschool children surveyed in the Lower Shire Valley, Malawi, and in Aceh province, Indonesia. Trachoma clustering was similarly assessed among the same children in Malawi. Trachoma clustered much more than xerophthalmia among villages and among households. The impact of xerophthalmia clustering on sample size considerations for future surveys or interventions was similar in Malawi and indonesia. Village clustering of xerophthalmia would necessitate a twofold increase in sample size. Househould clustering in the absence of villge clustering would have almost no impact on sample size. Village clustering of trachoma would necessitate a ninefold increase in sample size. Household clustering would increase sample size requirements by 26%.
