Abstrakt:	Background: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a connective tissue disorder that affects the penis and is characterized by abnormal collagen structure in the penile tunica albuginea, resulting in plaque formation and penile deformity. PD's overall prevalence is estimated at 3.2% to 8.9%, with rates as high as 20.3% among men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the characteristics of DM associated with PD complications remain unclear. Aim: To explore clinical associations between DM characteristics and PD complications. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with DM and PD who presented at our institution between 2007 and 2022. We examined patients' clinical histories, DM- and PD-related clinical parameters, and complications. Penile deformities were assessed through physical examination, photographs, and penile Doppler ultrasound. Patients were categorized into subgroups based on age of DM onset: early (<45 years), average (45-65 years), and late (>65 years). Outcomes: Outcomes included effects of DM characteristics on PD development, progression, and severity. Results: In total, 197 patients were included in the evaluation. Early-onset diabetes and elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels exhibited significant correlations with the early development of PD (ρ = 0.66, P < .001, and ρ = -0.24, P < .001, respectively). Furthermore, having DM at an early age was associated with the occurrence of penile plaque (ρ = -0.18, P = .03), and there were no significant differences in plaque dimensions (ρ = -0.29, P = .053). A rise in HbA1c levels after the initial PD diagnosis displayed positive correlations with the formation of penile plaque (ρ = 0.22, P < .006). Clinical Implications: These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive assessments and personalized treatment strategies for individuals with DM and PD. Enhanced management approaches can improve outcomes for those facing both challenges. Strengths and Limitations: Limitations include the single-site retrospective design with potential selection bias, inaccuracies in medical record data, and challenges in controlling confounding variables. Conclusions: This study highlights that early-onset diabetes and poor diabetes control, as indicated by a subsequent rise in HbA1c levels following PD diagnosis, are significantly correlated with the onset and severity of PD. Revealing the mechanisms behind these findings will help us develop better management strategies for individuals with DM and PD. (© The Author(s) 2024.
