Relationship between post‐occlusive forearm skin reactive hyperaemia and vascular disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes—a novel index for detecting micro‐ and macrovascular dysfunction using laser Doppler flowmetry

Structured PICO

Is the PORH index using laser Doppler flowmetry a sensitive indicator for detecting micro- and macrovascular dysfunction in patients with Type 2 diabetes?

Population

Patients with Type 2 diabetes

Intervention

Post-occlusive forearm skin reactive hyperaemia (PORH) index using laser Doppler flowmetry

Comparator

Various other measures of PORH

Outcome

Detection of micro- and macrovascular dysfunctionsurrogate

The PORH index measured by laser Doppler flowmetry is a sensitive novel indicator for detecting micro- and macrovascular dysfunction in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Abstract

The PORH index may be the most sensitive indicator of micro- and macrovascular disease of the various measures of PORH in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
