The significant regression formula on compound muscle action potential (CMAP) were not obtained in model 3. β, Standard regression coefficient; BMI, body mass index; ΔBP, orthostasis‐induced decreases in systolic blood pressure at standing; CI, confidence interval; CVR‐R, coefficient of variation of RR intervals on electrocardiogram after 15 min resting; DAN, diabetic autonomic neuropathy; DSPN, distal symmetric polyneuropathy; MCV, motor nerve conduction velocity; MVD, macrovascular disease, OR, odds ratio; PPDR, preproliferative diabetic retinopathy; QVP, quantitative vibratory perception thresholds; R2, decision coefficient; SCV, sensory nerve conduction velocity; SNAP, sensory nerve action potential. Statistically significant P‐value was shown by boldfaced type.
