Objective:

To analyze the influencing factors of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to construct a nomogram.

Approach:
  • Study Design: A total of 570 patients with T2DM were included and assigned to a training set (285 cases) and a validation set (285 cases) in a 1:1 ratio.
  • Statistical Analysis: Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors, and a nomogram was developed, validated, and evaluated.
Key Findings:
  • Advanced age (OR = 4.575), body mass index ≥ 24.0 kg/m2 (OR = 2.463), history of smoking (OR = 2.585), history of drinking (OR = 2.717), concomitant hypertension (OR = 2.925), concomitant dyslipidemia (OR = 2.393), concomitant diabetic kidney disease (DKD) (OR…
  • The area under the ROC curve for the training set was 0.795 and for the validation set was 0.857.
  • Calibration curves conformed to the ideal curve, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed no significant deviation.
Interpretation:

The nomogram based on identified risk factors can effectively predict the risk of DPN in patients with T2DM.

Conclusion:

The study identifies key independent risk factors for DPN in T2DM and presents a nomogram for risk prediction.
