Abstract

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to various health complications, including erectile dysfunction (ED), which is more prevalent in individuals with OSA. This study explored ED in Korean OSA patients and assessed the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on ED.

Methods: A total of 87 male patients with OSA from four different sleep centers underwent physical measurements and completed sleep and mental health (MH) questionnaires, including the Korean version of the International index of erectile function (IIEF), before and three months after initiating CPAP therapy.

Results: After three months of CPAP therapy, the patients demonstrated a significant improvement in ED as measured on the IIEF. However, the study found no significant correlation between the duration of CPAP use and the improvement in IIEF score. It did identify the SF36 quality of life assessment as a significant factor influencing ED improvement after CPAP.

Conclusions: ED is a prevalent issue that escalates with age and is associated with OSA. CPAP therapy has shown potential in alleviating ED symptoms, particularly in those with underlying psychological conditions, although further research is required to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms.

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者的勃起功能障碍：持续气道正压的影响。

背景：阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）与多种健康并发症有关，其中包括勃起功能障碍（ED），而勃起功能障碍在OSA患者中更为普遍。本研究探讨了韩国 OSA 患者的勃起功能障碍问题，并评估了持续气道正压疗法（CPAP）对勃起功能障碍的影响：方法：共有 87 名来自四个不同睡眠中心的 OSA 男性患者在开始接受 CPAP 治疗前和三个月后接受了身体测量，并填写了睡眠和心理健康（MH）问卷，包括韩国版国际勃起功能指数（IIEF）：结果：在使用 CPAP 治疗三个月后，根据国际勃起功能指数（IIEF）的测量结果，患者的 ED 有了明显改善。然而，研究发现使用 CPAP 的持续时间与 IIEF 分数的改善之间没有明显的相关性。研究还发现，SF36 生活质量评估是影响 CPAP 治疗后 ED 改善的一个重要因素：ED是一个普遍问题，随着年龄的增长而加剧，并与OSA有关。CPAP疗法在缓解ED症状方面具有潜力，尤其是对那些有潜在心理疾病的患者，不过还需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现并了解其潜在机制。
