Abstract:Objective To study the incidence and risk factors of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) among inpatients with type 2 diabetes. Methods Two hundred and sixty patients with type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy were selected, and the basic information and laboratory data on these patients were collected. According to the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs(LANSS)questionnaire, a score ≥12 was diagnosed as DPNP, while a score of less than 12 was classified as non-DPNP. Patients were divided into the DPNP group (n=129) and non-DPNP group(n=131). The related data was compared between the two groups, and the significant variables between the groups were included in the binary logistic regression analysis. Statistical analysis showed that the course of disease, diabetic nephropathy, HbA1c, low HDL-C, and UACR were risk factors for DPNP. Results There was statistically significant difference between the two groups in the course of disease and the incidence of complications with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy (all P<0.05), but not in gender, age, BMI, smoking history, drinking history, family history of disease, levels of education, complications with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, medication, blood glucose monitoring, treatment plans, weight control, diet control or physical activity (all P>0.05). Levels of HbA1c, HDL-C, urinary microalbumin and UACR were statistically different between the two groups (all P<0.05), but those of fasting blood glucose and C peptide, 2 h postprandial blood glucose and C peptide, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-C, urea, creatinine, uric acid and urine creatinine were not (all P>0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of disease (OR=1.042, 95%CI 1.001-1.085, P=0.045), diabetic nephropathy (OR=3.565, 95%CI 1.497-8.487, P=0.004), HbA1c (OR=1.179, 95%CI 1.041-1.334, P=0.009), HDL-C (OR=0.228, 95%CI 0.073-0.705, P=0.010)and UACR (OR=1.004, 95%CI 1.001-1.008, P=0.027) were risk factors for DPNP. Conclusions Patients with a longer clinical course, diabetic nephropathy, increased HbA1c, decreased HDL-C, and increased UACR are at high risk of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.
