Abstract

Aims: In this study, the aim is to classify the patients who were diagnosed with polyneuropathy in Trakya University Health Services Research and Application Center Neurology Polyclinics EMG Lab between years 2014 and 2015, relevant to their subtypes (axonal, sensorial and sensorimotor), and to investigate the causes and their relation to each subtype.Methods: The reports of 144 patients diagnosed with polyneuropathy in between 2014 and 2015 were scannedretrospectively. The patients were represented with age, gender, polyneuropathy type and etiologic inference. The correlation between the diagnosis of polyneuropathy and its underlying etiology was analyzed with the SPSS software and presented statistically. Patients were categorized in accordance to their polyneuropathy types by chi-square test. As descriptive statistics, numbers and percentages, arithmetic mean ± standard deviation and median (minimum-maximum) values were provided.Results: It is seen that the patients whose application is related to diabetes, cancer, chemotherapy, dysproteinemia,AIDS, B12 vitamin insufficiency and pyridoxine intoxication have a higher rate of polyneuropathy. Meanwhile, no significant difference among the causes of the three polyneuropathy types was found.Conclusion: Thorough and attentive investigation on the etiology of patients who were diagnosed with polyneuropathy can lead to pre-diagnosis
