本研究的目的是确定在土耳其主要糖尿病中心就诊的2型糖尿病患者神经病变的患病率和危险因素。866例连续2型糖尿病患者被纳入研究。由一名观察员对这些患者进行生物感觉测量学研究。使用神经症状量表（NSS）和神经功能障碍评分（NDS）调查糖尿病神经病变的存在。神经病变通过标准化神经系统检查确定，并定义为存在异常NSS和NDS以及异常感觉或运动体征和症状以及大脚趾振动感知降低。总体而言，60%（n = 520）的患者被诊断为神经病变。神经病变患病率随年龄增长而增加（p
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for neuropathy in type 2 diabetic patients attending a major Turkish diabetes center. Eight hundred and sixty-six consecutive type 2 diabetic patients were included in the study. A single observer performed biothesiometry studies on these patients. The presence of diabetic neuropathy was investigated using neurological symptom scale (NSS) and neurological disability score (NDS) performed. Neuropathy was determined with standardized neurological examinations and defined as the presence of abnormal NSS and NDS together with abnormal sensory or motor signs and symptoms as well as decreased great toe vibration perception. Overall, 60% (n = 520) of the patients were diagnosed as having neuropathy. The prevalence of neuropathy increased with age (p
