The Composite Autonomic Symptom Score 31 Questionnaire: A Sensitive Test to Detect Risk for Autonomic Neuropathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Autonomic neuropathy is a common but often neglected complication of diabetes, prediabetes, and even in individuals with an elevated risk of diabetes. The Composite Autonomic Symptom Score (COMPASS) 31 is a validated and easy-to-use questionnaire regarding autonomic symptoms. We aimed to use a digitally, Norwegian version of the COMPASS 31 in people with different durations of diabetes and healthy controls to consider feasibility and to investigate if scores could discriminate between positive and negative outcomes for established tests for diabetic neuropathy, including cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and a novel method of examining the gastrointestinal visceral sensitivity.

Method

We included 21 participants with longstanding type 2 diabetes,
