  • Title: Neuropathy in the DCCT/EDIC-What Was Done Then and What We Would Do Better Now.
    Author: Pop-Busui R, Martin C.
    Journal: Int Rev Neurobiol; 2016; 127():9-25. PubMed ID: 27133142.
    Abstract:
    The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and its epidemiological follow-up, the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) provide important insight on the natural history of distal symmetrical polyneuropathy and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes and on the impact of intensive treatment of hyperglycemia on disease progression. This chapter summarizes the design and methods used for neuropathy evaluations both in the DCCT and in EDIC, the characteristics of the DCCT/EDIC patient population, and summarizes the findings of the DCCT/EDIC relative to neuropathic complications of type 1 diabetes. Lessons learned from the DCCT and EDIC experiences of longitudinal assessments of neuropathic complications are also reviewed.
