METHODS In 2012, 25,000 Romanian-translated Norfolk QOL-DN self-administered questionnaires were distributed during a cross-sectional study. Between March-December 2016, all patients identified from the 2012 cohort and enrolled in this follow-up study completed the Norfolk QOL-DN questionnaire; amputations suffered since 2012 were recorded. The influence of age and duration of diabetes (DD) on delta QOL scores (defined as the differences between 2012 and 2016 scores) and of sex, age, diabetes type, DD and declared DN on amputations was explored using multivariate linear and logistic regression, respectively. RESULTS The mean (standard deviation) age of the 1865 participants was 60.6 (10.3) years. Mean total QOL-DN score increased from 2012 to 2016 by 4.39% (P = .079).
