In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of PE in a group of patients with type 2 DM and explore possible determinants of its occurrence and its association with erectile dysfunction. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of subjects recruited from the Diabetes clinic and whose sexual function was assessed using the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) and erection hardness score (EHS), who were in heterosexuals relationship and resides together with their wives and had no major organ failure or acute infection within the last 1 month. Other socio-demographic history and diabetes-related questions were assessed. Results: A total of 69 subjects were recruited. The prevalence of PE was 27.5% in the study. There was a significant inverse relationship between the prevalence of premature ejaculation and frequency of sexual intercourse. Almost half 14/30 (46.7%) of those with erectile dysfunction had premature ejaculation. Diabetic patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) showed a significantly higher incidence of PE with significantly lower values of EHS. Higher level of fasting blood glucose was associated with higher prevalence of erectile dysfunction. Conclusions: The prevalence of PE was relatively high at 19/69 (27.5%) among our type 2 diabetic patients. Hence, health care giver should always endeavour to ask about it even when patients do not volunteer the information.展开更多

All subjects were married and had regular sexual activity. The CIPE has 10 questions, focusing on libido, erectile function, ejaculatory latency, sexual satisfaction and difficulty in delaying ejaculation, self-confidence and depression. Each question was responded to on a 5 point Likert-type scale. The individual question score and the total scale score were analyzed between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences between the age, duration of marriage and educational level (P>0.05) of patients with and without PE and normal controls. The mean latency of patients with PE and normal controls were 1.6±1.2 and 10.2±9.5 minutes,respectively. Significant differences between patients with (26.7±4.6) PE and normal controls (41.9±4.0) were observed on the total score of CIPE (P<0.01). Using binary logistic regression analysis, PE was significantly related to five questions of the original measure. They are the so-called the CIPE-5 and include: ejaculatory latency, sexual satisfaction of patients and sexual partner, difficulty in delaying ejaculation, anxiety and depression. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of CIPE-5 questionnaire indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of CIPEwere 97.60% and 94.74%, respectively. Employing the total score of CIPE-5, patients with PE could be divided intothree groups: mild (>15 point) 19.8%, moderate (10~14 point) 62.8% and severe (<9point) 16.7%. Conclusion:The CIPE-5 is a useful method for the evaluation of sexual function of patients with PE and can be used as a clinical endpoint for clinical trials studying the efficacy of pharmacological intervention.展开更多
