Meta Analysis
High Prevalence of Erectile Dysfunction in Diabetic Men With Depressive Symptoms: A Meta-Analysis.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) may be common among diabetic men with depressive symptoms (DS), but its prevalence is still debated. ⋯ The present meta-analysis of 5 cross-sectional studies suggests that diabetic men showing DS, compared to the diabetic men without DS, have more risk of ED. Further larger prospective cohorts with more power or meta-analysis based on individual patient data need to be conducted to confirm this association. Wang X, Yang X, Cai Y, et al.

Different scales exist for the assessment of sexual distress in men with prostate cancer (PCa); however, these measures narrowly focus on distress associated with sexual function. ⋯ This study provides a validation of the SDS and SDS-R that can be used in samples of men with PCa and with and without sexual dysfunction for the assessment of distress.
