Cross-Sectional Study of the Relationship Between Medial Plantar Nerve Conduction Studies and Severity of Diabetic Neuropathy.
Objective: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), a complication of diabetes, is detected only in later stages. Medial plantar nerve (MPL) can identify earlier stages of neuropathy. We evaluated the correlation of MPL sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) and severity of DPN measured using the Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (TCNS).
Methods: In this hospital-based, cross-sectional study, we recruited diabetic subjects referred for suspected DPN. Neuropathy was graded with TCNS. Sural nerve conduction studies were performed using standard techniques. MPL studies were conducted using the modified Ponsford technique. All evaluations were performed on Nihon Kohden (model MEB 9200K). Averaged MPL SNAP was correlated with TCNS using Pearson's correlation coefficient. To estimate a correlation of 0.4 with 80% power (P = 0.05), we needed 46 subjects. Linear regression was conducted to adjust for age, duration, and diabetic control. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to obtain the cutoff for MPL SNAP values using the Youden index.
Results: Fifty-one subjects with a mean age of 53.5 years (8.7) and mean duration of diabetes of 10.2 years (7.2) were included. MPL SNAPs were recordable in 12 patients, and the mean amplitude was 5.15 (2.9) µV. There was correlation between MPL SNAP and TCNS (r = -0.43, P = 0.02). No confounding was seen. Use of MPL SNAP resulted in diagnosis of DPN in an additional six (11.8%) patients. The ROC curve suggested that MPL SNAP cutoff of 1.05 µV had an accuracy of 67% in identifying neuropathy as defined by TCNS.
Conclusions: MPL SNAP has a moderate correlation with clinical score and identifies more diabetic neuropathy than sural nerve.
期刊介绍:
The journal has a clinical foundation and has been utilized most by clinical neurologists for improving the practice of neurology. While the focus is on neurology in India, the journal publishes manuscripts of high value from all parts of the world. Journal publishes reviews of various types, original articles, short communications, interesting images and case reports. The journal respects the scientific submission of its authors and believes in following an expeditious double-blind peer review process and endeavors to complete the review process within scheduled time frame. A significant effort from the author and the journal perhaps enables to strike an equilibrium to meet the professional expectations of the peers in the world of scientific publication. AIAN believes in safeguarding the privacy rights of human subjects. In order to comply with it, the journal instructs all authors when uploading the manuscript to also add the ethical clearance (human/animals)/ informed consent of subject in the manuscript. This applies to the study/case report that involves animal/human subjects/human specimens e.g. extracted tooth part/soft tissue for biopsy/in vitro analysis.
