Abstract

Background

The prevalence of sexual dysfunction (SD) in men with multiple sclerosis (MS) is reported variously in different studies. The most common form of SD in these patients is erectile dysfunction (ED). The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the pooled prevalence of SD and ED in men suffering from MS.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and gray literature (references of references, and congress abstracts) up to 14th November 2020.

Results

We found 3163 studies by primary search, 2246 were included after deletion of duplicates. Finally, 29 studies were included for meta-analysis. A total of 3349 patients were evaluated. The pooled prevalence of SD was 66% (95% CI: 64%–69%). The pooled prevalence of erectile dysfunction was 49% (95% CI: 47%–50%).

Conclusion

Sexual dysfunction is a prevalent complication of MS in male patients which should be considered by clinicians.

多发性硬化症男性患者性功能障碍和勃起功能障碍的患病率：系统回顾与荟萃分析。

背景：多发性硬化症（MS）男性患者性功能障碍（SD）的发病率在不同的研究中有不同的报道。这些患者中最常见的性功能障碍形式是勃起功能障碍（ED）。本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在确定多发性硬化症男性患者中 SD 和 ED 的总体患病率：我们检索了截至 2020 年 11 月 14 日的 PubMed、Scopus、EMBASE、CINAHL、Web of Science 和灰色文献（参考文献和大会摘要）：通过初选，我们找到了 3163 项研究，删除重复研究后，共纳入 2246 项研究。最后，29 项研究被纳入荟萃分析。共对 3349 名患者进行了评估。汇总的 SD 患病率为 66%（95% CI：64%-69%）。勃起功能障碍的总患病率为 49% (95% CI: 47%-50%)：性功能障碍是多发性硬化症在男性患者中普遍存在的并发症，临床医生应予以重视。
