Age, comorbidities, height, weight, laboratory results, gout treatment data, insulin resistance evaluated by the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, presence and severity of erectile dysfunction evaluated by the six-item International Index of Erectile Function erectile function domain (IIEF-EF), and CIMT measured by ultrasound were assessed.\r\nResults: Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, greater insulin resistance, erectile dysfunction, and bilaterally increased CIMT were significantly more common in the gout group. The mean IIEF-EF score of gout patients was significantly lower than that of controls. Multivariable logistic regression revealed increased CIMT as the sole parameter independently associated with erectile dysfunction (p=0.010). When both groups were categorized into CIMT-based subsets, erectile dysfunction was present in 97.9% of patients with coexistence of gout and increased CIMT (\u22650.9 mm), a significantly higher proportion compared to the other three subsets (p<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.46497\/archrheumatol.2024.10486","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,28]],"date-time":"2024-08-28T07:33:43Z","timestamp":1724830423000},"page":"393-403","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Gout and erectile dysfunction: Increased carotid intima-media thickness is independently associated with greater likelihood for erectile dysfunction"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"39","author":[{"family":"Ece Yigit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Serdar Yasar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Meryem Can","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Zeki Bayraktar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Singh JA, Gaffo A.
