Abstract

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction is a common sexual problem affecting men with hypertension. It may result in withdrawal from sexual engagement, decreased work productivity, psychosocial problems including poor self-esteem and depression, and reduction in quality of life for both the affected men and their female partners.

Objective: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of erectile dysfunction and associated factors among hypertensive patients attending governmental health institutions in Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia.

Materials and methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 423 hypertensive men randomly selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Erectile dysfunction was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 tool. Sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral factors were also collected using pretested interviewer-administered questionnaires. Data were entered into EpiData version 4.6 and analyzed using Stata-14. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with erectile dysfunction. The level of significance was computed at a p value ≤ 0.05.

Results: The mean age of the study participants was 58.84 ± 13.52 years. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction among hypertensive men was 46.34% (95% CI: 41.61, 51.12). About 28% of them had a mild form of erectile dysfunction while nearly 6% had severe forms. Age above 60 years (AOR = 3.8, 95% CI: 1.62, 6.55), stage II hypertension (AOR = 3.5, 95% CI: 1.63, 5.74), hypertension duration >10 years (AOR = 2.5, 95% CI:1.12, 4.19), comorbidity (AOR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.04, 3.15), depression (AOR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.31, 4.21), and being physically active (AOR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.28, 0.83) were factors significantly associated with erectile dysfunction.

Conclusion: Nearly half of the study participants had some form of erectile dysfunction, indicating the presence of a high burden of the problem. Assessment of hypertensive men for erectile dysfunction should be part of routine medical care.

埃塞俄比亚西北部贡达尔市政府卫生机构高血压患者勃起功能障碍患病率及相关因素:一项横断面研究

简介:勃起功能障碍是影响高血压男性的常见性问题。它可能导致退出性约定、工作效率下降、包括自卑和抑郁在内的社会心理问题，以及受影响的男性及其女性伴侣的生活质量下降。目的:本研究旨在确定在埃塞俄比亚西北部贡达尔市政府卫生机构就诊的高血压患者勃起功能障碍的患病率及其相关因素。材料与方法:采用系统随机抽样技术，随机抽取423例高血压男性患者进行基于机构的横断面研究。使用国际勃起功能指数-5工具评估勃起功能障碍。社会人口学、临床和行为因素也通过预先测试的访谈者管理的问卷收集。数据输入EpiData 4.6版本，使用Stata-14进行分析。采用二元逻辑回归来确定与勃起功能障碍相关的因素。以p值≤0.05计算显著性水平。结果:研究参与者的平均年龄为58.84±13.52岁。高血压男性的勃起功能障碍患病率为46.34% (95% CI: 41.61, 51.12)。其中28%的人有轻微的勃起功能障碍，而近6%的人有严重的勃起功能障碍。年龄大于60岁(AOR = 3.8, 95% CI: 1.62, 6.55)、II期高血压(AOR = 3.5, 95% CI: 1.63, 5.74)、高血压病程>10年(AOR = 2.5, 95% CI:1.12, 4.19)、合病(AOR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.04, 3.15)、抑郁(AOR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.31, 4.21)、运动(AOR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.28, 0.83)是与勃起功能障碍显著相关的因素。结论:近一半的研究参与者有某种形式的勃起功能障碍，表明存在高负担的问题。高血压男性勃起功能障碍的评估应成为常规医疗保健的一部分。
