BEHAVIOURAL AND CLINICAL FINDINGS IN COUPLES WHERE THE MAN PRESENTS WITH ERECTILE DISORDER: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Open accessAbstract
SUMMARY: Relevant data were extracted from the case records of a consecutive series of 128 men (median age 57 years) who presented with erectile disorder and whose partners (median age 54 years) attended on the first or second consultation. The case records included responses to questionnaires addressing issues relating to sexual behaviour, used routinely in the clinic. Of these partners, 123 agreed to be clinically examined, including pelvic examination. The duration of erectile disorder ranged from less than one year to 40 years. Only about 10% of couples had experienced sexual kissing and/or caressing in the four weeks before presentation. Almost half the couples had not experienced any sexual activity for about 2.5 years. While 83.7% of men considered intercourse to be important to themselves, only 20.2% of the women rated intercourse somewhat or very important. Clinical evidence of urogenital atrophy was present in 33.3% of women over the age of 46 years. Three women had a vaginismic response to examination in the clinic and one of these women reported long term vaginismus pre‐dating the onset of her partner's erectile disorder. One case of malignant ovarian tumour was identified. The observations from this study demonstrate the need to involve the partner in the assessment process of men presenting with erectile disorder.

In men aged 40 to 70, there is a significant relationship between erectile dysfunction and depression, with odds ratios ranging from 1.7 to 1.8.
“In men who range in age from 40 to 70, these researchers found a significant relationship between the presence of ED and depression (ORs ranging from 1.7 to 1.8).”
From Prostate cancer: Psychosocial implications and management (2008) · cites this paper as [42]
The Results describe men aged 36–82, not an analysis limited to ages 40–70. Searches for depression and odds ratios found no passage reporting an association between erectile dysfunction and depression or ORs of 1.7–1.8; the paper mentions distress but does not establish the claimed relationship.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
