Men with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have decreased sexual function due to factors related to the underlying disease, medication, and/or surgery. We aimed to examine the use of erectile dysfunction (ED) medications in men with IBD.
This is a nationwide cohort study based on the Danish registries, comprising all men >18 years old with IBD during 1 January 1995 through December 2016. The cohorts included 31,498 men with IBD and 314,980 age-matched men without IBD. Our main outcome was a first prescription of an ED medication. Cox regression analyses were used to estimate the hazard rate (HR) for use of ED medications, controlled for multiple time-varying covariates.
Overall, 21,966 (69.7%) men had ulcerative colitis (UC) while 9532 (30.3%) had Crohn's disease (CD). Men with a first ED prescription numbered 3749 (11.9%) (men with IBD) and 30,635 (9.7%) (men without IBD). Adjusting for central nervous system and intestinal anti-inflammatory medications, systemic corticosteroids and co-morbidities, the HR was 1.19 (95% CI: 1.13-1.26) (IBD and no prior IBD operation), and 1.31 (95% CI: 1.20-1.43) (IBD and prior IBD operation). The adjusted HR for UC was 1.17 (95% CI: 1.10-1.24) (no operation) and 1.43 (95% CI: 1.27-1.61) (prior operation), and for CD 1.26 (95% CI: 1.15-1.38) (no operation) and 1.20 (95% CI: 1.06-1.35) (prior operation).
Men with IBD are more likely to fill an ED prescription than men without IBD. This result is significant regardless of a history of IBD surgery.
炎症性肠病(IBD)患者可能由于与基础疾病、药物和/或手术相关的因素而导致性功能下降。我们旨在研究 IBD 男性中勃起功能障碍(ED)药物的使用情况。
这是一项基于丹麦登记处的全国性队列研究,包括 1995 年 1 月 1 日至 2016 年 12 月期间所有年龄大于 18 岁的 IBD 男性患者。队列包括 31498 例 IBD 男性和 314980 名年龄匹配的无 IBD 男性。我们的主要结局是首次开具 ED 药物处方。使用 Cox 回归分析估计 ED 药物使用的风险比(HR),并控制了多个随时间变化的协变量。
总体而言,21966 例(69.7%)男性患有溃疡性结肠炎(UC),9532 例(30.3%)患有克罗恩病(CD)。首次开具 ED 处方的男性人数为 3749 例(11.9%)(IBD 男性)和 30635 例(9.7%)(无 IBD 男性)。调整中枢神经系统和肠道抗炎药物、全身皮质类固醇和合并症后,HR 为 1.19(95%CI:1.13-1.26)(IBD 且无先前 IBD 手术)和 1.31(95%CI:1.20-1.43)(IBD 且有先前 IBD 手术)。UC 的调整 HR 为 1.17(95%CI:1.10-1.24)(无手术)和 1.43(95%CI:1.27-1.61)(先前手术),CD 的调整 HR 为 1.26(95%CI:1.15-1.38)(无手术)和 1.20(95%CI:1.06-1.35)(先前手术)。
IBD 男性比无 IBD 男性更有可能开具 ED 处方。无论是否有 IBD 手术史,这一结果均具有统计学意义。
