  1. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. Data in parentheses are percentages, unless otherwise noted. Adjusted OR (for age) was measured by the ratio of sicker patients (severe and moderate, IIEF-5 scores of which are between 5 and 11, versus mild to moderate and mild, IIEF-5 scores of which are between 12 and 21 ) in every groups. The psychological ED group (IIEF-5 (5–11) / IIEF-5 (12–21)) was put as reference. CI, confidence interval.
