Erectile dysfunction (ED) is seen in a large number of male patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, little is known about the impact of ED on quality of life (QoL) of DM patients. To study the QoL of men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and ED and compare the same for men with DM without ED 63 patients of DM with ED were compared with 30 matched patients (on sociodemographic and clinical profile, rating on depression and anxiety) of DM without ED on QoL measures using WHO-QoL-Bref. Patients with ED had poorer QoL in all domains (except the physical domain); however, the differences between the two groups were significant only for the environmental domain. ED contributes to poorer QoL in patients with diabetes mellitus.
勃起功能障碍(ED)在大量患有糖尿病(DM)的男性患者中可见。然而,关于 ED 对 DM 患者生活质量(QoL)的影响知之甚少。为了研究 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)和 ED 男性的 QoL,并比较 ED 与无 ED 的 DM 男性的 QoL,使用 WHO-QoL-Bref 对 63 例 ED 合并 DM 的患者和 30 例 DM 匹配患者(在社会人口统计学和临床特征、抑郁和焦虑评分)进行 QoL 测量。ED 患者在所有领域(除了身体领域)的 QoL 较差;然而,两组之间的差异仅在环境领域显著。ED 导致糖尿病患者的生活质量下降。
