AbstractRoutinely collected peripheral neuropathy data entered on a diabetic clinical information system since 1979 have been audited for completeness, consistency, accuracy (interobserver variation), validity by comparison with biothesiometry, and relevance by life table analysis for foot ulceration. Peripheral neuropathy was defined by a neuropathy disability score ≥4. The data were 98% complete. Forty-nine of 3405 (1.4%) had inconsistent records. Agreement between observers for clinical examination was significant (p<0.05) for aggregate neuropathy score and its individual components except the knee jerk: Kappa score for observer variation for neuropathy score 0.56 (95% confidence interval 0.36-0.76). There was good agreement between neuropathy defined as aggregate score ≥4, and as combined vibration perception thresholds for both feet >60 V: Kappa statistic 0.62 (95% confidence interval 0.44-0.80). The chance of developing a foot problem in 3 years increased from 3% for patients with a score of zero to 45% for people with a score of between 9 and 12. We conclude that the calculation of a clinical neuropathy score is a simple, valid and relevant method for diabetes care both in hospital and the community. When combined with palpation of peripheral pulses most patients at risk of foot ulceration can be identified allowing targeting of preventive chiropody and orthotic resources.
