Recreational ICIs accounted for 82 of the 169 priapism encounters (49%). Patients who used recreational injections were younger than those who presented with other etiologies (43.5 years vs 47.5 years; P\u00a0= .048) and had delayed presentations (median, 12 hours vs 8 hours; P &amp;lt; .0001). There was no statistical difference across groups in the proportion of patients requiring operative intervention (14.6% of recreational ICI users vs 16.1% of all other patients; P\u00a0= .23). A total of 36 out of 72 patients who used recreational ICIs (50%) were HIV+.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our study adds to the relatively sparse literature on priapism outcomes.
