Analysis of correlative factors affecting IIEF-5 scores of type 2 diabetic patients / 中华男科学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the correlative factors affecting the IIEF-5 scores of the patient with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 149 T2DM patients were investigated for the relationships between their IIEF-5 score and such factors as age, body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2hPG, insulin (INS), GHbA1c, C-peptide, nitric oxide (NO), testosterone (T), estradiol (E2), the ratio of testosterone to estradiol (T/E), erythrocyte aldose reductase (AR), drinking, smoking, concomitant diseases, complications and medication.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The scores of the groups of smoking, complication, medication and concomitant disease were significantly lower than those of the controls. There was significant negative correlation between IIEF-5 scores and age, BMI, FPG, 2hPG, INS, GHbA1c and AR (P < 0.05), and significant positive correlation between IIEF-5 scores and NO (P < 0.05). But there was no correlation between drinking, T, E2 and T/E2 (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Many factors may affect the IIEF-5 scores of T2DM patients.</p>
