Key result
Pancreatic shear-wave velocity was significantly increased in patients with diabetes compared to controls (p<0.01), particularly in the pancreatic body when microangiopathy was present (p<0.01).
Why the study?
Does pancreatic shear-wave velocity measured by acoustic radiation force impulse imaging correlate with the presence of diabetic microangiopathy in patients with diabetes mellitus?
Population
230 subjects, comprising 115 patients with diabetes mellitus and 115 healthy persons.

Does pancreatic shear-wave velocity measured by acoustic radiation force impulse imaging correlate with the presence of diabetic microangiopathy in patients with diabetes mellitus?
p-value: p=<0.01
Pancreatic shear-wave velocity measured by acoustic radiation force impulse imaging is significantly increased in diabetic patients with microangiopathy, suggesting its feasibility as a non-invasive evaluation tool.
He et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Diabetic microangiopathy (n=230). Diabetic microangiopathy vs. Diabetes without microangiopathy and healthy controls was evaluated on Pancreatic shear-wave velocity (SWV) (p=<0.01). Pancreatic shear-wave velocity was significantly increased in patients with diabetes compared to controls (p<0.01), particularly in the pancreatic body when microangiopathy was present (p<0.01).
