The sensitivity of abnormal IENFD was highest among all measures with a value of 51.1% (43.7–58.5) and a specificity of 90% (79.5–96.2). CCM measures did not correlate with IENFD, CDT/WDT, or neuropathy severity in the group of patients with DPN.Discussion CCM measures showed the lowest sensitivity compared with other small fiber measures in the diagnosis of DPN. This indicates that CCM is not a sensitive method to detect DPN in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes.Classification of Evidence This study provides Class III evidence that CCM measures aid in the detection of DPN in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetics but with a low sensitivity when compared with other small fiber measures.AUC=area under the curve; BMI=body mass index; CCM=corneal confocal microscopy; CDT=cold detection threshold; CNBD=corneal nerve branch density; CNFD=corneal nerve fiber density; CNFL=corneal nerve fiber length; DPN=diabetic polyneuropathy; IENFD=intraepidermal nerve fiber density; IQR=interquartile range; LFN=large fiber neuropathy; MFN=mixed fiber neuropathy; NCS=nerve conduction studies; ROC=receiver operation characteristics; SFN=small fiber neuropathy; TCNS=Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score; WDT=warm detection threshold
