Abstract
Introduction: Antidepressants may lead to a series of sexual adverse effects (SAEs), among which ejaculation dysfunction (EjD) is often overlooked by clinicians. The purpose of the present network meta-analysis was to assist drug adjustment by comparing and ranking the incidence of EjD among various antidepressants.
Methods: Relevant studies were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, and other additional records. Eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessed the rate of EjD in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorder after taking anti-depressants. The incidences of EjD, erectile dysfunction (ED), decreased libido (DL), adverse events (AE), withdrawal due to adverse events (WDAE) and withdrawal due to lack of efficacy (WDLE) were pooled using odds ratio (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI). The values of surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) helped to rank the risk of each outcome in different antidepressants.
Results: Thirty RCTs comprising 18,157 patients were included. Results of all node-splitting analysis demonstrated no statistical inconsistency (all P > 0.05). Clomipramine (OR 42.11, 95% CI [9.90, 179.08]), WS5570 (OR 28.99, 95% CI [1.48, 568.97]) and paroxetine (OR 18.63, 95% CI [9.33, 37.23]) had significant risk of EjD comparing to placebo. Additionally, duloxetine (OR 7.37, 95% CI [2.61, 20.78]), clomipramine (OR 5.29, 95% CI [1.72, 16.25]), paroxetine (OR 3.75, 95% CI [1.37, 10.26]) and escitalopram (OR 3.04, 95% CI [1.20, 7.71]) presented higher risk of ED comparing to placebo. Agomelatine, levomilnacipran, vortioxetine, trazodone, vilazodone, fluvoxamine and imipramine exhibited similar incidence of EjD with placebo (all P > 0.05). Besides, trazodone, vilazodone and vortioxetine had the top-five SUCRA values in each of SAEs (EjD, ED and DL), and agomelatine might be alternative in EjD and DL. Considering about AE, WDAE and WDLE, vilazodone appeared to offer more satisfactory performance across all these aspects.
Conclusions: For patients undergoing SAEs following the administration of antidepressants, trazodone, vortioxetine, vilazodone and agomelatine are alternative antidepressants.

Andrology is the study of the male reproductive system and other male gender related health issues. Andrology deals with basic and clinical aspects of the male reproductive system (gonads, endocrine and accessory organs) in all species, including the diagnosis and treatment of medical problems associated with sexual development, infertility, sexual dysfunction, sex hormone action and other urological problems. In medicine, Andrology as a specialty is a recent development, as it had previously been considered a subspecialty of urology or endocrinology
