In this study, we aimed to evaluate sexual dysfunction (SD) between two different regions of Turkey in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD).
Forty-three PD patients in Ordu and 71 patients in Istanbul were included. The Unified PD Rating Scale and Hoehn and Yahr Stage (HYS) scale were used to assess disease severity. Cognitive function was assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The sexual functions of the patients were evaluated with applying the Turkish version of the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX).
Mean age of patients in Istanbul was 67.25±8.34years and mean age of patients in Ordu was 67.98±8.93 (p=0.66). There was 87.33% SD in Istanbul group and 95.35% in Ordu group (p=0.20) respectively. In terms of ASEX score, no difference was found between the Istanbul and Ordu groups. ASEX scores were significantly higher in females in both groups.
In this study, we have found that living in the different regions of our country does not have an impact on sexual function in PD patients.
在本研究中,我们旨在评估土耳其两个不同地区帕金森病(PD)患者的性功能障碍(SD)情况。
纳入了奥尔杜的43例PD患者和伊斯坦布尔的71例患者。采用统一帕金森病评定量表和霍恩及雅尔分期(HYS)量表评估疾病严重程度。通过简易精神状态检查表(MMSE)评估认知功能。采用土耳其语版亚利桑那性体验量表(ASEX)对患者的性功能进行评估。
伊斯坦布尔患者的平均年龄为67.25±8.34岁,奥尔杜患者的平均年龄为67.98±8.93岁(p=0.66)。伊斯坦布尔组的性功能障碍发生率为87.33%,奥尔杜组为95.35%(p=0.20)。在ASEX评分方面,伊斯坦布尔组和奥尔杜组之间未发现差异。两组女性的ASEX评分均显著更高。
在本研究中,我们发现生活在我国不同地区对PD患者的性功能没有影响。
