From: Quality of life in polyneuropathy: association with biomarkers of small fiber impairment
Small fiber impairment and quality of life (QoL) measurements. Box plot of small fiber sensory examination with QoL measures: quantitative sensory testing (QST in a and b) and skin biopsy (c and d) in WHOQoL (a and c) and EQ-5D (b and d). Patients were classified into two groups: normal (N) vs. abnormal (Ab) and each domain of QoL was analyzed accordingly. All domains of WHOQoL revealed significant association with QST results. Skin biopsy examination was related to all domains of WHOQoL and EQ-5D. (The bottom and top of the box are the first and third quartiles, * P<0.05,**P < 0.01,)
