Diagnostic test of toronto and modified toronto scoring, monofilament test, and vibrate sensation test using 128 hz tuning fork for diabetic polineuropathy

Background. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has been epidemically increasing throughout all the world population, and diabetic polyneuropathy (PNP-DM) is one of the most common neurologic manifestation of this disease. Clinical research has proved that effective bedside screening of PNP-DM can significantly reduce the incidence of foot ulcer and limb amputation. Objective. To measure the diagnostic test of polyneuropathy scoring, monofilament 10-g SemmesWeinstein test, and 128 Hz tuning fork test as an early detection measure for PNP-DM. Methods. This research was conducted using a cross sectional approach from Januari 2016 to Juli 2017. Results. Among the total study population of 43 (23 men and 20 woman), Modified Toronto Score has the highest sensitivity (100%), PPV (93%) and accuracy (93%). Toronto score has the highest NPV (9%). Conclusion. Modified Toronto Score has good diagnostic value as screening tool in PNP-DM.
