        Inflammatory biomarkers may predict response to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor treatment in patients with erectile dysfunction

        Metin Kilic,Anil Erkan,Salim Zengin,Gokce Dundar,Caglar Boyaci 대한비뇨의학회 2023 Investigative and Clinical Urology Vol.64 No.4

        Purpose: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and monocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) in predicting response to a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5i) when used as the first-line medical treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Materials and Methods: This study prospectively included 185 patients who were diagnosed with ED and started PDE5i treatment. After PDE5i treatment, 107 (57.8%) patients with an International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score below 22 were assigned to Group 1, and 78 (42.2%) patients with an IIEF-5 score of 22 or above were assigned to Group 2. The outcome measures of the study were demographic characteristics and inflammation markers between the groups. Results: The mean IIEF-5 change after PDE5i treatment was 6.1±4.2 points in Group 1 and 11.5±3.2 points in Group 2 (p=0.001). The mean age was 54.6±9.2 years in Group 1 and 47.8±10.3 years in Group 2 (p<0.001), and the median fasting blood glucose values of Groups 1 and 2 were 105 (36) mg/dL and 97 (23) mg/dL, respectively (p=0.010). The LMR and MHR values were 2.39±0.23 and 13.8±7, respectively, for Group 1, and 2.03±0.22 and 17±6.6, respectively, for Group 2 (p=0.044 and p=0.002, respectively). On multivariable analysis, younger age and increased MHR were independent predictors of benefit from PDE5i treatment. Conclusions: This study showed that only MHR as an inflammatory biomarker was an independent predictor for response to PDE5i in the treatment of ED. Also, several factors were predictive of treatment failure.
