Abstract
Result: Four hundred fifteen questionnaires were analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 54.6 years. The prevalence of ED was 81.9%. Based on IIEF5 scoring, it was found that 136 (32.8%) patients had mild, 159 (38.3%) had moderate and 45 (10.8%) had severe ED. There was a statistically significant association between ED severity and age (P=0.000), diabetes duration (P=0.002), the presence of CVD (P=0.002), poor metabolic control (P=0.038), and retinopathy (P=0.040). Previous ED diagnosis was present in 51 (12.3%) patients. Conclusion: ED is very common among our patients. However, the majority were undiagnosed. Regular screening and increasing awareness of the treating physicians of ED is needed.
