Sensitivity and specificity of high frequency ultrasound score (DCEC) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To summarize the ultrasonic characteristics of peripheral nerve damage in type 2 diabetes and to verify the diagnostic value of DCEC score for DPN.

Methods

A total of 289 patients with type 2 diabetes evaluated peripheral neuropathy with neuroultrasound and nerve conduction at the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from June 2016 to June 2020. According to the diagnostic criteria from 2017 guidelines of China, 289 patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into three groups: DPN group: 203 cases; subclinical group: 48 cases; and non-DPN group: 38 cases. Kruskal Wallis test was used to identify the differences and characteristics of ultrasound scores between the all groups. The best cut-off value, sensitivity and specificity of DCEC score were obtain
