Even though several scholars have conducted study in different part of the world on erectile dysfunction in patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, it's magnitude vary among their finding with the range between 20 and 90%. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence of erectile dysfunction and associated factors among diabetic clients.
A cross sectional study was conducted from January 2016 to March, 2016. Systematic random sampling technique was used. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and level of erectile dysfunction was measured using the international index of erectile function. A total of 422 diabetic patients were participated with 100% response rate. The proportion of erectile dysfunction was 85.5% and it was significantly associated with higher age (AOR: 6.46, 95% CI 2.55-16.44) and Diabetic complication (AOR: 3.97, 95% CI 1.06-17.36). Therefore, screening for ED in diabetic patients, particularly for those who are in advanced age and living with DM for more than 10 years is needed for it's early detection, prevention and management.
尽管有几位学者在世界不同地区对糖尿病患者的勃起功能障碍进行了研究，但其发生率在他们的研究结果中有所不同，范围在20%至90%之间。本研究旨在评估糖尿病患者中勃起功能障碍的患病率及相关因素。
于2016年1月至2016年3月进行了一项横断面研究。采用系统随机抽样技术。使用结构化问卷收集数据，并使用国际勃起功能指数测量勃起功能障碍程度。共有422名糖尿病患者参与，应答率为100%。勃起功能障碍的比例为85.5%，且与高龄（调整后比值比：6.46，95%置信区间2.55 - 16.44）和糖尿病并发症（调整后比值比：3.97，95%置信区间1.06 - 17.36）显著相关。因此，需要对糖尿病患者，特别是高龄且患糖尿病超过10年的患者进行勃起功能障碍筛查，以便早期发现、预防和管理。
