Background   The aim of the study was to explore whether plasma stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) levels are associated with the EZSCAN score and its derived indicators in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).    Methods   From July 2020 to December 2020, a total of 253 patients with T2D were consecutively recruited. Serum SDF-1 levels were measured by sandwich ELISA. EZSCAN test was applied to evaluate the sudomotor function of each patient, and based on the results, EZSCAN score, cardiac autonomic neuropathy risk score (CANRS) and cardiovascular risk score (CVDRS) were calculated by particular algorithms. In addition, other relevant clinical data were also collected.    Results   With increasing tertiles of serum SDF-1 levels, the CANRS and CVDRS significantly increased (both  P for trend &lt;0.001), while the EZSCAN score significantly decreased ( P for trend &lt;0.001). Moreover, serum SDF-1 levels were significantly and positively correlated with the CANRS and CVDRS (r = 0.496 and 0.510, respectively, both  P   &lt; 0.001), and negatively correlated with the EZSCAN score (r = −0.391,  P   &lt; 0.001). Furthermore, multivariate linear regression analyses were constructed, and after adjusting for other clinical covariates, serum SDF-1 levels were independently responsible for EZSCAN score ( β  = −0.273,  t  = −3.679,  P   &lt; 0.001), CANRS ( β  = 0.334,  t  = 5.110,  P   &lt; 0.001) and CVDRS ( β  = 0.191,  t  = 4.983,  P   = 0.003).    Conclusions   SDF-1 levels in serum were independently associated with the EZSCAN score and its derived indicators, such as CANRS and CVDRS in patients with T2D.
