Turkish version of the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument in the assessment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a validity and reliability study.

摘要: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) a simple, brief, and useful screening tool that was designed to assess DPN. aim this study develop Turkish version MNSI its reliability validity. Eighty-three patients with DM who were divided into two groups according results nerve conduction studies (NCS) as having DPN or without enrolled in cross-sectional study. Toronto clinical scoring system, pain detect questionnaire, NCS assessed along MNSI. Each section internally consistent (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.70), scores both sections positively correlated total score (r = 0.938; r = 0.908, respectively, p < 0.001). test–retest determined 0.99 for (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.996). Using agreement between diagnosis by gold standard, receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve values A B estimated 0.973 1.00, respectively. When cut-off value ≥ 3.0 value ≥ 2.0 used, we obtained sensitivity 97.6% 100%; specificity 63.4% 97.6%; positive predictive value 72.7% negative 96.3% 100%, reliable valid patients.
