| Popis: | Purpose: To assess the performance of the Brief Sexual Symptom Checklist for men (BSSC-M) questionnaire in General Practitioner’s (GP) consults in Spain. Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional study conducted in Spain among men ≥50 years, visiting a GP for any reason, and being able to answer self-administered questionnaires. Patients receiving medicines for erectile dysfunction (ED) and those with poor functional status were excluded. Sexual satisfaction was assessed by the BSSC-M, ED by the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM), and quality of life (QoL) using a 5-point Likert scale. Results: In all, 770 men met all the selection criteria and 556 patients (72.2%) reported sexually related problems, ED being the most frequent (n = 427; 55.5%). The SHIM score decreased progressively with the number of causes of sexual dissatisfaction. Prevalence of ED (SHIM ≤21) was greater in patients who referred problems with erection in the BSSC-M questionnaire (76 vs. 14%; p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis for ED prediction revealed that sexual dissatisfaction, QoL (average or low/very low), and the presence of 3 or more comorbidities significantly influenced the chances of having ED. Conclusions: Our results encourage the use of the BSSC-M for identifying suspicion of ED and other sexual problems in patients > 50 who visit their GP for a routine follow-up. |
