Abstract
Background: Micro- and macro-vascular complications of diabetes seem to be interconnected. This study aimed to evaluate the association between peripheral arterial diseases (PAD) and diabetic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy (DSPN).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 748 people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) referred to a tertiary care center between 2017 and 2022. PAD was defined as Ankle-brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.9. Loss of protective sensation (LOPS) was applied for the detection of DSPN. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between PAD and DSPN.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 59.6 (±8.8) years, and the median duration of diabetes was 10 (5-16) years. LOPS was detected in 491 individuals (65.6%). ABI ≤ 0.9 was associated with a significantly higher risk of LOPS (OR: 3.65, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.97- 6.74). In addition, every 0.1 decrease in ABI increased the risk of LOPS by 21% (95%CI: 10- 34%). Toe brachial index (TBI) ≤0.7 was also associated with a significantly higher risk of LOPS (OR: 1.77, 95%CI: 1.28- 2.46). Each 0.1 decrease in TBI increased the risk of LOPS by 19% (95%CI: 10- 28%).
Conclusion: PAD is strongly associated with DSPN. Assessment of DSPN could be considered in the presence of PAD.
