Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and erectile dysfunction (ED) negatively affect quality of life. The α1-blockers are effective for LUTS suggestive of benign prostatic hypertrophy.
To analyze the effect of a uroselective α1-blocker on both voiding and sexual dysfunction in Thai men with LUTS.
Of 488 men with LUTS who received 10 mg alfuzosin monotherapy once daily (OD) at a men's health clinic, 313 men (64%) completed 8 months of alfuzosin treatment and filled the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)-5 questionnaires.
The relationships among the IPSS, IIEF-5 score, and select clinical characteristics were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. To identify changes from the baseline, the chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used for categorical or dichotomous variables and a paired Student's t-test was used for continuous variables.
The 313 men were followed up for a mean (standard deviation [SD]) of 35.6 (2.2) weeks. LUTS were categorized by IPSS as moderate in 100 patients (31.9%) and severe in 213 patients (68.1%). ED was graded according to the IIEF-5 as normal in 46 patients (14.7%), mild in 29 patients (9.3%), mild to moderate in 81 patients (25.9%), moderate in 47 patients (15.0%), and severe in 110 patients (35.1%). ED is associated with LUTS (P=0.008). After 8 months of alfuzosin treatment, the mean (SD) IPSS and IIEF-5 score significantly improved from 19.95 (6.4) to 11.13 (4.6) (P<0.001) and from 11.5 (6.9) to 14.9 (5.7) (P<0.001), respectively. However, the IIEF-5 score did not improve significantly in patients with severe LUTS as determined using the IPSS. The most common adverse event with alfuzosin treatment was mild (dizziness, 2.2%).
Treatment with 10 mg alfuzosin OD is safe and effective in improving voiding and sexual function in Thai men with LUTS and ED.
下尿路症状(LUTS)和勃起功能障碍(ED)会降低生活质量。α1-受体阻滞剂对良性前列腺增生引起的 LUTS 有效。
分析选择性α1-受体阻滞剂对泰国男性 LUTS 患者排尿和性功能的影响。
在男性健康诊所,488 名 LUTS 男性接受每日一次 10mg 阿夫唑嗪单药治疗(OD),其中 313 名(64%)男性完成了 8 个月的阿夫唑嗪治疗,并填写了国际前列腺症状评分(IPSS)和国际勃起功能指数(IIEF-5)问卷。
采用多元回归分析分析 IPSS、IIEF-5 评分与选择临床特征之间的关系。使用卡方检验或 Fisher 精确检验分析分类或二分类变量,使用配对学生 t 检验分析连续变量,以确定从基线的变化。
313 名男性的平均(标准差[SD])随访时间为 35.6(2.2)周。LUTS 根据 IPSS 分为中度 100 例(31.9%)和重度 213 例(68.1%)。ED 根据 IIEF-5 分级为正常 46 例(14.7%)、轻度 29 例(9.3%)、轻度至中度 81 例(25.9%)、中度 47 例(15.0%)和重度 110 例(35.1%)。ED 与 LUTS 相关(P=0.008)。阿夫唑嗪治疗 8 个月后,IPSS 和 IIEF-5 评分的平均(SD)分别从 19.95(6.4)显著改善至 11.13(4.6)(P<0.001)和 11.5(6.9)至 14.9(5.7)(P<0.001)。然而,在使用 IPSS 确定严重 LUTS 的患者中,IIEF-5 评分的改善并不显著。阿夫唑嗪治疗最常见的不良反应是轻度(头晕,2.2%)。
每日一次 10mg 阿夫唑嗪治疗对泰国男性 LUTS 和 ED 患者的排尿和性功能改善安全有效。
