Key result
Clinically detectable peripheral neuropathy was present in 39% of IDDM subjects at baseline, and its presence correlated with greater age, longer duration of diabetes, and male gender.
Population
278 well-characterized subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, free of advanced complications…

May prioritize neuropathy screening in older males with longer IDDM duration; leaves open prospective validation in trials.
Cross-Sectional (n=278)
Yes
Baseline analysis of the DCCT feasibility phase demonstrates that older age, longer diabetes duration, and male gender are associated with the presence of diabetic neuropathy.
A 1988 study conducted a cross-sectional in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) (n=278). Intensive insulin therapy was evaluated on Clinically detectable peripheral neuropathy. Clinically detectable peripheral neuropathy was present in 39% of IDDM subjects at baseline, and its presence correlated with greater age, longer duration of diabetes, and male gender.
