Comorbid conditions in patients with erectile dysfunction in a community setting

Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of chronic comorbidities and the use of concomitant medications in men diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (ED) in a community setting, using a large integrated database. All patients who experienced an episode of ED during a two-month period were identified from the database. Comorbid conditions were determined through outpatient management claims and prescription claims for concomitant conditions were also assessed during the study period.
