Author(s): Osamah Alramahi*, Mohammad Al-Sharrab, Mo’men Shabib, Mohammad Al-Khrissat and Moath Momani
Objective: This study explores the relationship between clinical and
demographic factors and the presence and severity of neuropathic
pain in diabetic patients. We aim to identify potential predictors of
neuropathic pain that could aid in early detection and management.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included diabetic patients from
Basmah Hospital in Jordan. Neuropathic pain was assessed using a
validated pain scale using TORONTO CLINICAL NEUROPATHY SCORE
(TCNS) Generalized linear models analyzed associations between
potential predictors (including RDWI values, platelet count ratios, age,
diabetes duration, etc.) and neuropathic pain. Receiver Operating
Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis determined the predictive accuracy
of significant factors.
