Correlation between Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Diabetic Neuropathy in Chinese Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Using Machine Learning Methods.

Our findings demonstrated that NLR is highly correlated with DPN and is an independent risk factor for DPN. NLR might be a novel indicator for the early diagnosis of DPN. XGBoost and SVM models have great predictive performance and could be reliable tools for the early prediction of DPN in T2DM patients. This trial is registered with ChiCTR2400087019.
