目得：本研究旨在比较西奈山勃起功能评分（MSEFS），我们的近距离放射治疗计划的医生分配的量表，与患者独立完成的国际勃起功能指数-5（IIEF-5）。方法和材料：共有1202例T1-T3前列腺癌患者接受了超声引导放射性粒子植入+/- EBRT治疗，至少有一次访视完成了MSEFS和IIEF-5。进行了斯皮尔曼rho相关分析。结果：在所有比较中，MSEFS与IIEF-5总分显著相关。初次咨询时的比较系数为0.65，所有访视时的比较系数为0.76。相关性仍然很强，访视1至10的平均值为0.76。结论：在评估辐射后勃起功能障碍时，MSEFS与IIEF-5相关性很好，但不能被IIEF-5取代，IIEF-5与性欲程度有关。如果使用IIEF-15代替IIEF-5与我们的MSEFS，可以更深入地了解患者近距离治疗后的勃起功能。(c)2007年美国近距离放射治疗协会。All rights reserved.
PURPOSE: This study is to compare the Mount Sinai Erectile Function Score (MSEFS), our brachytherapy program's physician-assigned scale, with patients' independently completed International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 1202 patients with T1-T3 prostate cancer were treated with ultrasound-guided radioactive seed implantation +/- EBRT with at least one visit where both MSEFS and IIEF-5 were completed. Spearman rho correlations were performed. RESULTS: The MSEFS significantly correlated with the total IIEF-5 scores on all comparisons. The coefficient was 0.65 for comparisons at initial consultation and 0.76 for all visits. The correlations remained strong, averaging to 0.76 for visits 1 through 10. CONCLUSIONS: In assessing erectile dysfunction after radiation, the MSEFS correlates well with, but cannot be replaced by, the IIEF-5, which is weighted toward one's degree of sexual desire. More insight into patients' erectile function after brachytherapy may be gotten if the IIEF-15 is used instead of the IIEF-5 with our MSEFS. (c) 2007 American Brachytherapy Society.
