Agreement between electrochemical skin conductance and large fiber measures was fair to moderate (\u03ba=0.39\u20130.47), while the vibration perception threshold and nerve conduction studies showed substantial concordance (\u03ba=0.61). In multivariable analysis, increasing age (odds ratio: 1.08; 95% confidence interval: 1.00\u20131.16) and longer duration of diabetes (odds ratio: 1.26; 95% confidence interval: 1.07\u20131.49) were independently associated with sudomotor dysfunction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Sudomotor dysfunction assessed by electrochemical skin conductance was common in fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes and detected more frequently than abnormalities on vibration perception threshold or nerve conduction studies.
