DSPN was diagnosed based on the Toronto Consensus Criteria. We constructed (i) a protein-based prediction model using LASSO logistic regression, (ii) an optimised traditional risk model with age, sex, waist circumference, height and diabetes type and (iii) a model combining both.

LASSO logistic regression selected the neurofilament light chain (NFL) and fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) as the most predictive protein biomarkers for detecting DSPN in individuals with recent-onset diabetes. The protein-based model achieved an AUC of 0.66 (0.59, 0.73), while the traditional risk model had an AUC of 0.66 (0.61, 0.74).
