Data are medians with interquartile range. values using the Mann–Whitney test. The area under the curve (AUC) is estimated for predicting diagnostic accuracy. PPV = positive predictive value; NPV = negative predictive value; CARTs = cardiovascular reflex tests; CAN = cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy; DPN = diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Definite/borderline CAN = one or more pathological CARTs. Possible/probably DPN with <six sensations on monofilament test. A total of 14 participants did not complete the CARTs, five in the longstanding group, two in the early group, and seven in the control group. |
