The primary outcome was the modification of sexuality, comparing sexual function before and after implantation of the device using a Likert scale called PGII (Patient Global Impression of Improvement).

There was a modification of sexual activity in 40% of patients: 20% showing improvement, 20% showing deterioration. In patients having sexual intercourse before AUS implantation, the rate of change in sexuality was higher (61.7%).
