Test whether physicians can validly and reproducibly diagnose diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN). Twelve physicians assessed 24 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) on consecutive days (576 examinations) with physical features and voice disguised. Results were compared to gold standard 75% group diagnosis and a nerve conduction score (Σ 5 NC nds). Masking of patients was achieved. Reproducibility measured by the kappa coefficient and compared to Σ 5 NC nd varied considerably among physicians: median and ranges: signs 0.8 (0.32 to 1.0); symptoms 0.79 (0.36 to 1.0) and diagnoses 0.47 (0.33 to 0.84) – both low and high scores indicating poor performance. There was substantial agreement between 75% group dx and confirmed NC abnormality. As compared to Σ 5 NC, individual physicians’ clinical diagnosis was excessively variable and frequently inaccurate. Study physician diagnosis from signs and symptoms were excessively variable, often over-estimating DSPN. Specific approaches to improving proficiency should be tested.
