Abstract

Objective: In the present study, we investigated the association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and retinal findings in patients presenting with erectile dysfunction (ED) complaints. Material and methods: A total of 102 patients with ED were included in this study. The patients were di- vided into two groups according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel - III consensus definition: patients with MS (Group 1, n=62) and patients without MS (group 2, n=40). The sever- ity of ED was determined according to the first five versions of the International Index of Erectile Function. A detailed fundus examination was performed to evaluate the patients for retinopathy. The patients’ reti- nopathy grades were classified according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study. Results: The mean age of the patients was 51.4 years. Twenty-two patients (35.5%) in Group 1 and nine (22.5%) in group 2 had severe ED (p= 0.241). Ten (16.1%) patients in group 1 and one (2.5%) patient in group 2 had any degree of retinopathy (p= 0.047). The logistic regression analysis of the correlation between severe ED and MS risk factors revealed that a fasting glucose level (FBG) of >110 mg/dL increased the risk of severe ED by 2.5 times (95% CI 1-6.2, p= 0.058). Additionally, the logistic regression analysis of metabolic risk factors showed that only the FBS level was strongly associated with retinopathy, with the relative risk increased to 10.6 (95% CI 1.2-93, p= 0.033). Conclusion: Our results showed that elevated FBG levels were the most critical MS component in the de- velopment of severe ED and retinopathy.

Özet

Amaç: Erektil disfonksiyon (ED)’u olan hastalarda metabolik sendrom (MS) ve retinal bulgular arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek. Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya ED’si olan 102 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar Ulusal Kolesterol Eğitim Prog- ramı Erişkin Tedavi Paneli - III konsensus tanımına göre MS’i olan (Grup 1, n=62) ve MS’i olmayan hasta- lar (Group 2, n=40) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. ED şiddeti Uluslararası erektil fonksiyon endeksinin ilk 5 (IIEF-5) sorusu ile belirlendi. Retinopati değerlendirmesi için detaylı fundus muayenesi yapıldı. Hastaların retinopati dereceleri Diyabetik Retinopati Erken Tedavi Çalışmasına göre sınıflandırıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 51.4 yıl idi. Grup 1’de 22 hastada (%35.5) ve Grup 2’de 9 hastada (%22.5) şiddetli ED (p= 0.241) saptandı. Grup 1’de 10 (%16.1) hastada ve Grup 2’de 1 (%2.5) hastada her- hangi bir derecede retinopati saptandı (p= 0.047). MS risk faktörleri ile şiddetli ED arasındaki lojistik reg- resyon analizinde açlık kan şekerinin >110 mg/dL olmasının şiddetli ED riskini 2.5 (%95 CI 1-6.2, p= 0.058) kat arttırdığı saptandı. Ayrıca, metabolik risk faktörlerinin lojistik regresyon analizinde sadece açlık kan şekerinin >110 mg/dL olması retinopati ile güçlü derecede ilişkiydi ve göreceli risk 10.6 (%95 CI 1.2-93, p= 0.033) kat artmıştı. Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız artmış açlık kan şekeri düzeyinin, şiddetli ED ve retinopati gelişimi için en kritik MS bileşeni olduğunu göstermektedir.
