  1. Data are median [IQR]. P-values are based on Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous and nominal data and on Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables
  2. SCV sensory conduction velocity, SNAP sensory nerve action potential, DML distal motor latency, SSS symptom severity score, SWM Semmes-Weinstein monofilament
  3. Values in italics represent statistically significant differences
