Figure 1.
ROC curves were determined for (A) all neuropathy subjects (B) large fiber neuropathy and (C) small fiber neuropathy. The images represent the two neuropathy scales that showed the best sensitivity and specificity characteristics in determining the presence of neuropathy, the mTCNS and the TNSc. The MDNS (not shown) had the poorest sensitivity and specificity characteristics. The mTCNS area under the ROC (AUC) was significantly different from the MDNS for all subjects with neuropathy (P<0.01) and for small fiber neuropathy (P<0.05) but not for large fiber neuropathy. AUC for other neuropathy scales were not significantly different, except for the NDS that was significantly different from the MDNS for small fiber neuropathy (P<0.05).
