ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPotency Rates (Ability to Obtain an Erection Sufficient for Penetration) Without Assistance Compared Between Patients in All Three Arms of the Study at 12 Months12 months following BNS-RAP
Potency rates (ability to obtain an erection sufficient for penetration) without assistance in those patients receiving maintenance Viagra compared to non-pharmacology controls was compared at 12 months from start of treatment using the fisher's exact test
SecondaryPotency Rates With or Without Assistance in the Control Group Versus Maintenance MUSE or Maintenance ViagraAt 6 and 18 monthsPotency rates with or without assistance in the control group versus maintenance MUSE or maintenance Viagra were compared at each of 6 and 18 months
SecondarySHIMS-5 Scores in the Control Groups Versus Maintenance MUSE or Maintenance Viagra GroupsAt 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months
Median and range of SHIM scores evaluated at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months. SHIMS-5 is the Sexual Health Inventory for Men, which includes 5 questions that are scored from 1 to 5 each. The total score is obtained by adding all five response scores, and can range from 5 to 25 when all 5 questions are answered. Questions that are left unanswered are scored as a 0, and can result in an overall score lower than 5 (as low as 0). Higher scores are more desirable. A Score of 22-25 = no ED, 17-21=Mild ED, 12-16=Mild to moderate ED, 8-11=Moderate ED, and 5-7 =Severe ED (ED=Erectile Dysfunction). There are no sub-scale scores within this questionnaire.
