Key result
High BMI linked to ~13-fold greater risk of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in T2D.
Why the study?
To evaluate the clinical applications of BMI and a percussion-entropy-based index (PEINEW) for predicting the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

High BMI may aid DPN risk stratification in T2DM; leaves open whether BMI or percussion-entropy indices warrant clinical adoption.
Cohort (n=90)
Do body mass index and a percussion-entropy-based index predict the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Odds Ratio: 12.53
p-value: p=0.001
BMI and percussion entropy calculation can provide valid information to identify type 2 diabetics at increased risk of future diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Xiao et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=90). High BMI vs. Low BMI was evaluated on development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) (OR 12.53, p=0.001). In patients with type 2 diabetes, a high BMI was associated with a 12.53-fold greater risk of developing diabetic peripheral neuropathy compared to a low BMI over 5.5 years (P=0.001).
