Summary: | Aims
To investigate whether peripheral neuropathy scale scores are associated with myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Materials and Methods
In this cross‐sectional study, 32,463 T2DM patients were enroled from 103 tertiary hospitals in 25 Chinese provinces. Based on a history of MI, participants were divided into the MI group (n = 4170) and the non‐MI group (n = 28,293). All patients were assessed using four neuropathy scales, namely, Neurological Symptom Score (NSS), Neurological Disability Score (NDS), Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS), and Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), and some of the patients underwent evaluation of nerve conduction velocity (NCV) (n = 20,288). The relationship between these scores and myocardial infraction was analysed.
Results
The neuropathy scale scores in the MI group were higher than those in the non‐MI group (p |
