  1. Outcome variable indicates painful or painless DPN. Numerical variables are represented by the median and Inter Quantile Range (IQR) in brackets, categorical variables by the absolute occurrence and percentage in brackets. Columns hold from left to right data for people with Painful DPN, Painless DPN and the total of the Validation dataset. Right most column holds the p.value of the comparison between Painful and Painless DPN using the chi-square test for categorical variables or the Kruskal Walis test for numerical variables. The number and rate of missing values is indicated for all factor levels
