Study on the tibial neuropathy risk of diabetes mellitus by high frequency ultrasound,shear wave elastography and clinical indicators
Objective To investigate the clinical value of high frequency ultrasound and shear wave elastography(SWE)combined with clinical indicators in the evaluation of tibial neuropathy risk in type 2 diabetic patients.MethodsSeventy-two cases of diabetes
including 34 cases of peripheral neuropathy(DPN group)and 38 cases of non-peripheral neuropathy(NDPN group)were enrolled in this study.Data of gender
age
disease course
body mass index(BMI)
glycosylated hemoglobin(Hb A1 c)
serum insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)
plasma homocysteine(Hcy)
left-right diameter
the anterior-posteriordiameter
cross-sectional area and elasticity measured by shear wave elastography were collected and compared between the twogroups.The correlation between ultrasonic parameters and laboratory indexes was analyzed.Multivariate analysis of clinical data
laboratory indicators
ultrasound parameters
and quantitative scoring of the results.ResultsThe age
disease course in the DPNgroup were higher than those of the NDPN group(both P<0.05)
the gender and BMI were not statistically significant between thetwo groups. In the DPN group
the left-right diameter
the anterior-posterior diameter
CSA
the elastic modulus of the tibialnerve
Hb A1 c and Hcy were higher than those of the NDPN group
while the IGF-1 was lower than that of the NDPN group(allP<0.05).Hcy and Hb A1 c were positively correlated with the tibial nerve diameter

while IGF-1 was negatively correlated with anterior-posterior diameterand CSA(r=-0.406
-0.334
both P<0.05).Multi-factor analysis results showed that disease course

Hb A1 c were independent risk factors for DPN(OR=3.267

all P<0.05)
while IGF-1 was a protective factor(OR=0.892
P=0.004). The nomogram results showed a score of up to 180 points for a 70% risk of peripheral neuropathy.ConclusionHigh frequency ultrasound and SWE combined with clinical indicators is potentially used to evaluate tibialneuropathy for patients with diabetes mellitus
among them
the increase in disease course
CSA
the elastic modulus
and Hb A1 care independent risk factors to evaluate tibial neuropathy
while the increase in IGF-1 is a protective factor.
