Table 2. Diagnostic performance of the feet ESC, VPT, and DNS in detecting DPN.

Cutoff Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV AUC
DNS ≥ 1 52% 60% 25% 83% 0.60
VPT > 15 V 72% 90% 66% 92% 0.84
Feet ESC < 60 μS 85% 85% 61% 95% 0.88

DNS–diabetic neuropathy symptom score, VPT–vibration perception threshold, Feet ESC–feet electrochemical skin conductance, PPV–positive predictive value, NPV–negative predictive value, AUC–area under curve
