- The findings indicated that the prevalence of PDN was 30.3%, with higher rates in type 2 diabetes patients (33.1%) compared to type 1 (14.1%), and no significant differences were found between primary and secondary care groups.
- It concluded that the S-LANSS method is a feasible tool for epidemiological studies on PDN, with results aligning with existing research.
