Erectile Function Domain Score Between Treated and Untreated Groups
Erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire, which consists of 15 questions. The erectile function domain score is calculated as a sum of scores from questions 1-5 and 15. A clinically meaningful difference is 5 points. The scores range from 1 to 30 points where a higher score indicates better erectile function. Normal erectile function is defined as greater than or equal to 24 points.
