Key result
Truncated abstract lacks results correlating central sensory afferentations with neuropathy severity in type 1 diabetes.
Why the study?
The relationship of alterations in neuronal system networks and their correlation with autonomic and sensory neuropathy severity in type 1 diabetes is poorly documented.
Observational (n=10)
This study aims to evaluate the correlation between central auditory and visual afferentations and the severity of autonomic and sensory neuropathy in type 1 diabetes.
May support investigating interconnected neuronal alterations in diabetic neuropathy; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
It became clear in the last decades that neuropathy is not a separate clinical entity, but a component of several related complications (1). Although the functional consequences of neuropathy are well defined in various organ systems, the relationship of the alterations in the networks of the neuronal system is still poorly documented. Assessment of the potential common alterations of the different neuronal functions in patients with diabetic neuropathy may provide new pathogenetic and diagnostic considerations. Previously, we observed correlations between the delay of certain auditory-evoked potentials and the severity of autonomic and peripheral sensory neuropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes (2). In addition, we found a relationship between the latency of visual-evoked potentials and the peripheral neuronal function (3). The aims of this study were to analyze the possible correlations between the central auditory and visual afferentations and the severity of autonomic and sensory neuropathy in patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes. A total of 10 middle-aged type 1 diabetic patients …

Várkonyi et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Type 1 diabetes (n=10). Severity of autonomic and sensory neuropathy was evaluated on Correlations between central auditory and visual afferentations and the severity of autonomic and sensory neuropathy. The study aimed to analyze correlations between central auditory and visual afferentations and neuropathy severity in 10 patients with type 1 diabetes, but results were not reported in the truncated abstract.
