Multicenter Study
Effect of daily tadalafil on reported outcomes in patients with erectile dysfunction and depressive symptoms: STROBE, a case-control study.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) and depression are closely related. We sought to determine ED and depression were improved by tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, at 5 mg daily, in this case-control study. Participants were men aged 20 to 65 years with ED for >3 months, International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF) score <21 points, and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) survey result >50 points who were willing to participate. ⋯ Patients with severe IIEF scores (group 1, n = 27) experienced significantly greater improvement in IIEF from V1 to V2 and V1 and V3, compared to those with mild-to-moderate IIEF scores. Both groups improved in SDS index from V1 to V2 and V1 to V3, with the greatest improvement between V1 and V3 for group 1 and V1 and V2 for group 2. Daily tadalafil 5 mg could be helpful for ED patients with depressive symptoms and improved LUTS and quality of life.
