Baseline intelligence. The DPN patients had no significant difference in general intelligence compared with the control subjects (WAIS-FSIQ, mean ± SE: DPN 91.2 ± 3.3 vs. CTL 98.0 ± 3.2, p = 0.096) but the patients did show lower scores in MOCA (mean ± SE: DPN 23.2 ± 0.9 vs. CTL 26.2 ± 0.5, p = 0.029) and forward-backward digit span in WIAS (mean ± SE: DPN 8 ± 0.7 vs. CTL 10.1 ± 0.6, p = 0.034). ^∗p < 0.05.
