| Abstract |
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common comorbidity of diabetes mellitus, but few studies investigated its prevalence in type 1 diabetes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and correlates of ED in young men with type 1 diabetes treated with different intensive insulin regimens. The study population included 151 type 1 diabetic men, aged 18-35 years, and 60 healthy age-matched controls. Ninety-four men were treated with multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI), and the remaining 71 with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). All participants in the study completed the International Index of Erectile function (IIEF-5), and other validated multiple-choice questionnaires assessing quality of life, physical activity, depressive symptoms and diabetes-related problems. The overall prevalence of ED was higher in diabetic men (37%), as compared with controls (6%, P<0.001). ED prevalence rates were similar in both MDI (36%) and CSII (39%) groups (P=0.326); both were higher compared with controls (P<0.001 for both). More than half of diabetic men (58%) had mild ED. Compared with men without ED, diabetic men with ED showed lower weight, body mass index, fasting glucose, insulin dose and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and higher self-rating depression score (SRDS). In the multiple regression analysis only the SRDS (P=0.032) were independent predictors of IIEF-5 score in the overall diabetic men. Young men with type 1 diabetes treated with MDI or CSII show a higher prevalence of ED, as compared with healthy age-matched men. Depression was associated with ED in diabetic population.International Journal of Impotence Research advance online publication, 22 September 2016; doi:10.1038/ijir.2016.38. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 October 2018.
All research outputs
#7,650,019
of 25,081,505 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Impotence Research
#716
of 1,367 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#107,156
of 328,355 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Impotence Research
#9
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,081,505 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,367 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.9. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,355 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
