چکیده انگلیسی

AimsThe objective of this cross-sectional survey was to capture undiagnosed neuropathy in Romanian patients with self-reported diabetes using Norfolk QoL-DN as a screening tool and to assess its impact on quality of life (QoL).Methods25,000 Romanian-translated, validated Norfolk QoL-DN questionnaires were distributed between June and December 2012. 21,261 patients who self-reported diabetes and answered questions related to neuropathy, ulceration, gangrene and amputation were included in the analysis.Results52% of diabetic patients (n = 6615) who answered “no” to the question “Do you have neuropathy?” had total QoL scores above the cut-off, suggesting the presence of diabetic neuropathy. 13,854 (65.2%) patients answered “yes” to the question “Do you have neuropathy?” and 3,150 (14.8%) reported at least one episode of ulceration, gangrene or amputation. Total QoL score was 3-fold higher (worse) for patients who answered “yes” to the question “Do you have neuropathy?” than for those who answered “no” (38.39 vs. 13.71; p < 0.001) and 1.4-fold worse for patients who reported ulceration, gangrene or amputation than for those who did not report any of these (50.38 vs. 34.87; p < 0.001).ConclusionsWe found a high prevalence of undisclosed diabetic neuropathy in this population and showed that neuropathy severity has an increasing impact on total QoL and its domains.
