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
