Overall Diagnostic Performance of Multiple Versus Single Physical Examination Tests for the Prediction of Future Diabetic Neuropathy Risk

Key Points

• The aim is to compare the effectiveness of multiple physical examination tests versus a single test in predicting diabetic neuropathy risk.
• Evaluation of a three-test strategy and a single-test strategy.
• Comparison of diagnostic performance metrics.
• Assessment of recommended guidelines for neuropathy screening.
• The three-test strategy did not show improved performance compared to the single-test approach.
• Support for simplified screening methods in clinical guidelines.
