Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of the 10 g nylon silk,vibration threshold value,sense of temperature,pain sense and ankle reflex in the diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN)and to search an exact diagnostic method of DPN not only economical but also easy to handle.Methods To carry out the measurements of the NCV,10 g nylon silk,vibration threshold value,sense of temperature,pain sense and ankle reflex on the patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes (DM)between April 2014 and June 2014 in the endocrinology department of our hospital.The sensitivity,specificity,positive forecast value,negative forecast value,Youden index and K value serve as assessments of the diagnostic efficiency of clinically diagnostic criteria. Results The sensitivity,specificity,positive forecast value,negative forecast value,Youden index and K value of the ankle reflex are 66.04%,95.56%,97.22%,54.43%,61.60%,and 0.5 1 in mediate accordance with the diagnostic criteria and it is the best one among the five methods.While the sensitivity and accordance of the pressure sense are of the least accordance with the diagnostic criteria.The correspondent value of the combination of vibration threshold sense,temperature sense and ankle reflex are respectively 86.79%,91.11%,95.83%,74.55%, 77.90% and 0.73,in positive accordance with the diagnostic criteria.Conclusion Among the five methods the consistency between the combination of vibration threshold sense,temperature sense and ankle reflect and diagnostic criteria is of positive accordance and can be applied in screening DPN clinically.
