Abstract
Objectives

To assess the impact of urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia and its treatment with silodosin on quality of life (QoL) and sexual function, depending on age, severity of symptoms, time on treatment and prostate size.

Material and methods

A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in 305 urology practices throughout Spain. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected and patients filled the following questionnaires: EQ-5D, Sexual Function Index (SFI) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Multiple regression models were used to determine factors independently associated with patients’ QoL.

Results

A total of 1019 patients were enrolled; mean (SD) for: age 62.7 (5.7), EQ-5D 89.9 (13.9), sexual drive-SFI 3.71 (1.67), erection-SFI 6.11 (3.08), ejaculation-SFI 4.50 (2.06), problems-SFI 6.85 (3.37) and overall satisfaction-SFI 2.00 (0.99). The EQ-5D and SFI score were statistically lower with older age, severe LUTS and greater prostate size (P<.01), but no differences were found related to time on treatment with silodosin. The EQ-5D score was positively associated with sexual satisfaction and desire size of SFI and the EQ-5D VAS score, and negatively with disability, semi-urban residence and comorbidities in the multiple regression analyses.

Conclusions

Severe LUTS and older age are associated to a greater deterioration in sexual function and quality of life. However time on treatment with silodosin does not produce deterioration in the quality of life.

Resumen
Objetivos

Evaluar el impacto de los síntomas urinarios asociados a hiperplasia benigna de próstata y su tratamiento con silodosina sobre la calidad de vida (CV) y la función sexual, en función de la edad, la gravedad de los síntomas, el tiempo en tratamiento y el tamaño prostático.

Material y métodos

Estudio transversal, observacional, realizado en 305 consultas de urología de España. Se recogieron datos sociodemográficos y clínicos y los pacientes cumplimentaron los cuestionarios EQ-5D, Sexual Function Index (SFI) e International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Se determinaron los factores asociados independientemente a la CV de los pacientes mediante análisis de regresión múltiple.

Resultados

Se seleccionaron 1.019 pacientes con media (DE) para: edad 62,7 (5,7) años, puntuación EQ-5D 89,9(13,9), deseo-SFI 3,71 (1,67), erección-SFI 6,11 (3,08), eyaculación-SFI 4,50 (2,06), problemas-SFI 6,85 (3,37), satisfacción sexual-SFI 2,00 (0,99) y mediana IPSS 16 (RI 12-20). Las puntuaciones EQ-5D y SFI fueron inferiores a mayor edad, mayor gravedad de STUI y mayor tamaño prostático (p<0,01), pero no se encontraron diferencias en cuanto al tiempo en tratamiento con silodosina. En el análisis de regresión múltiple se observó que la puntuación del cuestionario EQ-5D se asoció de forma positiva con las dimensiones satisfacción sexual y deseo del SFI y con la puntuación EVA EQ-5D, y de forma negativa con incapacidad laboral, residencia semi-urbana y comorbilidades.

Conclusiones

El deterioro en la función sexual y en la calidad de vida es mayor en los pacientes de mayor edad y en aquellos con STUI graves. Sin embargo, el tratamiento prolongado con silodosina no produce deterioro en la calidad de vida.
