MS was present in 50 of the 107 patients (42.7%). The blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, serum lipid profile, triglyceride, total cholesterol, body mass index (BMI) and total prostate specific antigen (PSA) values were recorded. The international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score and international erectile function index (IIEF-5) values were determined for the patients. All patients also underwent uroflowmetry together with prostate volume and residual urine volume measurement.\nRESULTS: There was a significant negative correlation between the IPSS and IIEF scores of the patients (P < .001, r = -0.42). There was no significant difference regarding IPSS scores between patients with and without MS (P = .6), while the IIEF-5 scores were significantly lower in the MS group (P = .03).\nCONCLUSION: We found that metabolic syndrome did not significantly affect LUTS but could significantly contribute to ED. We therefore feel patients presenting with ED complaints should also be carefully evaluated for MS. ", "publicationTitle": "Urology Journal", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2014", "volume": "11", "issue": "4", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "1820-1824", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Urol J", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1735-546X", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "eng", "libraryCatalog": "NCBI PubMed", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "PMID: 25194083", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-09-09T16:30:13Z", "dateModified": "2014-09-09T16:30:13Z" } }, { "key": "HJDNC2ND", "version": 2, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 286410, "name": "zoltero007", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/zoltero007", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/286410/items/HJDNC2ND", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/zoltero007/items/HJDNC2ND", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 2057667, "username": "jorge_garate", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jorge_garate", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Franch-Nadal et al.", "parsedDate": "2014-09-05", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "HJDNC2ND", "version": 2, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients according to diabetes duration", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Josep", "lastName": "Franch-Nadal" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Pilar", "lastName": "Roura-Olmeda" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Belén", "lastName": "Benito-Badorrey" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Antonio", "lastName": "Rodriguez-Poncelas" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Gabriel", "lastName": "Coll-de-Tuero" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Manel", "lastName": "Mata-Cases" }, { "creatorType": "author", "name": "on behalf of the GEDAPS (Primary care Group for the study of Diabetes)" } ], "abstractNote": "BACKGROUND: Control of glycaemic levels as well as cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) is essential to prevent the onset of complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).\nAIM: To describe the degree of glycaemic control and CVRF in relation to diabetes duration.\nPATIENTS AND METHODS: Multicentre cross-sectional study in T2DM patients seen in primary care centres during 2007. Variables: Demographical and clinical characteristics, antidiabetic treatments and development of disease complications. Diabetes duration classification: 0-5, 6-10, 11-20 and >20 years. Logistic regression models were used in the analysis.\nRESULTS: A total of 3130 patients; 51.5% males; mean age: 68±11.7 years; mean diabetes duration:7.0 (±5.6) years, median: 5 (interquartile range:3-9) years; mean HbA1c: 6.84 (±1.5), were analyzed. There has been a progressive decline in HbA1c levels (HbA1c > 7% in 25.8% of patients during the first 5 years and 51.8% after 20 years). Blood pressure values remained relatively stable throughout disease duration. The mean value of low density lipoprotein (LDL) experienced a slight decline with the progression of the disease, but due to the significant increase of cardiovascular disease (CVD) after 20 years of duration, less patients reached the recommended target (LDL < 100mg/dl) in secondary prevention. Logistic regression model controlling for age, sex and CVD showed that diabetes duration was related to glycaemic control (odds ratio: 1.066, 95% confidence interval: 1.050-1.082 per year) but not to blood pressure or LDL control.\nCONCLUSIONS: The degree of glycaemic control and the risk factors in relation to the duration of T2DM followed different patterns.
