Single-Center Study Evaluating the Impact of Age on the Diagnostic Performance of the Sural-to-Radial Sensory Amplitude Ratio in Length-Dependent and Non-Length-Dependent Peripheral Polyneuropathies
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice
Summary
This retrospective single-center observational study will evaluate the impact of age on the diagnostic performance of the sural-to-radial sensory nerve amplitude ratio (SRAR) in patients with length-dependent and non-length-dependent peripheral sensory polyneuropathies. Clinical and electrophysiological data collected during routine care between January 2013 and July 2026 will be analyzed. Diagnostic performance will be assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis across predefined age groups to determine whether age-adjusted SRAR thresholds improve the differentiation between the two polyneuropathy phenotypes.

Retrospective Medical Record Review
This observational study involves retrospective collection and analysis of routinely acquired clinical and electrophysiological data from approximately 180 patients with sensory polyneuropathy. Data extracted from medical records include demographic characteristics, clinical diagnosis, and nerve conduction study parameters, including sural and radial sensory nerve action potential amplitudes used to calculate the sural/radial amplitude ratio (SRAR). No additional diagnostic procedures, treatments, or study-specific assessments are performed. All data are obtained from standard clinical care.
