Mean platelet volume as a predictive marker of erectile dysfunction: a meta-analysis. Int J Impot Res 2022; 34:746-752. [PMID: 35091698 DOI: 10.1038/s41443-021-00523-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2021] [Revised: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a global health problem that commonly occurs due to multiple factors, particularly by a vascular abnormality with the activation of platelet (PLT). Mean platelet volume (MPV), a PLT activity marker, has been hypothesized to be associated with ED. The present meta-analysis aims to evaluate the MPV and its contribution to ED diagnosis. A systematic searching to summarize the association of MPV as a predictive marker for ED was conducted on two databases, including MEDLINE (PubMed) and CINAHL (EBSCOhost). We included all English studies that measured MPV levels in ED and non-ED subjects. A total of 168 publications were initially retrieved and screened systematically. 12 studies with 1643 subjects were included for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The MPV mean difference between ED patients and healthy subjects; vasculogenic and non-vasculogenic ED showed significant differences. Our findings show PLT is associated with the development of ED. Higher MPV level was found in the ED subjects compared to the healthy controls. Nevertheless, the evidence is still limited due to the small number of studies and further investigations are required to support the utilization of MPV for ED diagnosis.

Baran C, Karakanlı MÜ, Culha MG, Özcan L, Ötünçtemur A. Is there a relationship between mean platelet volume and response to treatment with daily tadalafil in patients with erectile dysfunction? Andrologia 2022; 54:e14601. [PMID: 36146889 DOI: 10.1111/and.14601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been related to erectile dysfunction (ED). However, its value in predicting therapeutic response to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors is not evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the value of MPV as a marker for the prediction of the response of the tadalafil treatment of ED. A retrospective analysis of patients who were admitted to the andrology outpatient clinic between 2020-2022 were performed. The inclusion criteria were, ≥40 years old male, International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function domain score < 26, not received any ED treatment before, have a stable heterosexual relationship, and prescribed 5 mg daily tadalafil for primary treatment of ED. A total of 116 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 53.7 ± 8.7 years. The response rate to 5 mg tadalafil treatment was 52.6% (Group-1; N = 61). An MPV value 3 10.05 fL was associated with 66% sensitivity and 75,4% specificity for no response to 5 mg daily tadalafil treatment (Area under curve = 76.9% [95% CI 68.2%-85.6%; p < 0.001]). Initial IIEF-EF score, fasting blood glucose, and MPV level was independently associated with the response to the tadalafil treatment. This is the only study to evaluate the value of MPV level on the therapeutic response of ED to tadalafil. Strict inclusion criteria were applied to the cohort. However, the diagnose of vascular ED has been made by clinical evaluation and retrospective design of the study were the limitations of the study. The results of our study suggest that MPV might be used to predict the result of 5 mg daily tadalafil treatment in selected ED patients as a fast and cost-effective test.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality in the Western population, so the attempt to find a marker capable of predicting their early onset is not surprising. It is known that arteriogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) precedes the onset of a major coronary event by several years. However, a marker that is able to early identify those patients who should undergo further diagnostic investigations is, to date, missing. Recent research on this topic has focused on the role of the mean platelet volume (MPV), a marker of platelet activity that is high in most vascular diseases, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, peripheral artery disease (PAD), and ED. The basic pathophysiological mechanism of all these clinical conditions is atherosclerosis. Platelets play a central role in amplifying this process both indirectly by stimulating endothelial cells to produce inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and directly through the expression of membrane receptors and the release of molecules that contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. The objective of this review is to critically analyze the evidence on the role of MPV in predicting the diagnosis and severity of vasculogenic ED and the possibility of using this simple marker as a first step to start a diagnostic process aimed at assessing the cardiovascular risk in these patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between penile colour doppler ultrasonography (PCDUS) and complete blood count parameters in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). The data of the patients who applied to our outpatient clinic with ED (IIEF-5 score <22 or IIEF-EF score <26) between January 2007 and May 2017 were retrospectively analysed. The patients who had available PCDUS results and complete blood count (CBC) values were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups having normal (n = 530 [68.9%]) or abnormal (n = 240 [31.1%]) PCDUS findings (group 1 versus group 2 respectively). Subsequently, group 2 was divided into three subgroups according to presence of arterial insufficiency (group 2a; n = 85 [11%]), venous insufficiency (group 2b; n = 140 [18.2%]) and both of arterial and venous insufficiency (group 2c; n = 15 [1.9%]), and the four groups were compared in terms of CBC parameters. There was no statistically significant difference between the 4 groups, and between the patients with normal and abnormal PCDUS findings in terms of CBC values. CBC values were not associated with PCDUS findings in patients with ED.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of tadalafil, aspirin, and tadalafil + aspirin combination therapy in vascular erectile dysfunction (VED). METHODS A total of 336 patients were randomly divided into four groups (group 1, aspirin 100 mg/day, 126 patients; group 2, tadalafil 5 mg/day, 72 patients; group 3, tadalafil 5 mg + aspirin 100 mg, 72 patients; group 4, placebo, 66 patients). In all groups, the changes from baseline to end point in erectile function scores on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) and the number of patients who answered "yes" to questions 2 and 3 of the sexual encounter profile(SEP) were compared statistically. RESULTS The changes in IIEF-EF scores after treatment were 7.2 ± 4.4, 7.3 ± 4.3, 7.5 ± 4.4, and 2.0 ± 4.6 for group 1 (p < 0.0001), group 2 (p < 0.0001), group 3 (p < 0.0001), and group 4 (p = 0.0204), respectively. The change in SEP-2 ratios after treatment were 36.6%, 36.9%, 41.7%, and 9.4% for group 1 (p < 0.0001), group 2 (p < 0.0001), group 3 (p < 0.0001), and group 4 (p = 0.2925), respectively. The change in SEP-3 ratios after treatment was 46.6%, 49.2%, 53.7%, and 12.5% for group 1 (p < 0.0001), group 2 (p < 0.0001), group 3 (p < 0.0001), and group 4 (p = 0.1456), respectively. In group 2, both the number of patients who reported side effects (p < 0.0001) and stopped using the drug due to side effects (p < 0.05) were significantly higher than the control and others groups. CONCLUSIONS Successful results were obtained by tadalafil and aspirin monotherapy and tadalafil + aspirin combination therapy in patients with VED. However, the least side effect was observed in the tadalafil + aspirin group. Aspirin can be used alone in the treatment of patients with VED, or combined with tadalafil to reduce side effects and increase success.

Abstract
Elevated platelet levels have been postulated to be associated with cardiovascular diseases, conditions closely linked to erectile dysfunction (ED). The current systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the platelet indices, which including platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) in subjects with ED compared to controls in an attempt to clarify the possible role of platelet indices in the pathogenesis of ED. We initially screened the candidate studies observing the possible association between platelet indices and ED following literature search of database Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE and MEDLINE and therefore included the studies based on the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two independent investigators extracted the related information on article data and outcome measures from the qualified studies, and a meta-analysis was therefore performed using Stata 12.0 software. Subgroup analyses were conducted by the different ED aetiology obtained from the eligible studies. The standard mean difference (SMD) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were applied to estimate the outcome measures. A total of 14 articles were qualified in our meta-analysis with a total of 1595 cases and 987 controls included. Pooled estimate was in favour of increased MPV levels in subjects with ED with a SMD of 0.651 fl, 95% CI 0.567-0.735, p = 0.000. Subgroup analysis showed that vasculogenic ED had a higher MPV levels than controls as well (SMD [95% CI] = 1.026 [0.823-1.228], p = 0.000). However, pooled analysis based on PLT and PDW levels has produced inconsistent results and not strong evidence on platelet level and ED correlation. In conclusion, vasculogenic ED patients had a higher MPV level in our study. However, the results need further interpretation with caution and more high-quality studies are warranted.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate the role of platelet parameters including mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet count (PC) in the pathogenesis of penile arteriogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) and to evaluate the association between the platelet parameters and arteriogenic ED. There were 244 patients with ED (based on the International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF]-5 ≤21) and 60 healthy controls (IIEF-5 >21) enrolled. All participants were asked to undergo a laboratory examination, and penile vascular function was evaluated using penile color Doppler ultrasonography (pDUS). Among these ED patients, 24 patients with no abnormality on nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) and 84 with normal vasculature or mixed vascular abnormalities were excluded. The other patients were classified into three groups as follows: control (n = 60), arteriogenic ED (n = 99), and venous leakage (n = 37) groups. MPV and PC were significantly higher in the arteriogenic ED group compared with the venous and control groups (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve for MPV to predict arteriogenic ED was 0.707. MPV ≥9.65 fl was recognized as a cut-off value for potential arteriogenic ED (sensitivity: 47.5%; specificity: 91.7%). A significant inverse correlation was detected between MPV and 10-min peak systolic velocity (PSV) (r = -0.34; P < 0.001) in the arteriogenic ED group. These findings suggest that the MPV might be a powerful indicator to predict and diagnose arteriogenic ED, and MPV may be a marker for ED when using pDUS.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficiency of antiplatelet (aspirin) therapy in vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (VED) patients with a high mean platelet volume. METHODS A total of 184 patients diagnosed with VED between the ages of 18 and 76 were randomly divided into two groups and treated for 6 weeks [group 1: 120 patients (mean age 48.3), aspirin 100 mg/day; group 2: 64 patients (mean age 47.7), placebo 100 mg/day]. The changes from baseline to end point in erectile function scores on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) and the number of patients who answered "yes" to questions 2 and 3 of the sexual encounter profile (SEP) were compared statistically. RESULTS The mean baseline IIEF-EF scores in groups 1 and 2 were 14.1 ± 4.9 and 14.3 ± 5.2, respectively (p = 0.7966), the number of patients who answered "yes" to SEP-2 was 62 (51.6%) in group 1 and 32 (50%) in group 2 (p = 0.8366), and the number of patients who answered "yes" to SEP-3 was 38 (31.6%) in group 1 and 20 (31.2%) in group 2 (p = 0.9557). In the aspirin group, the changes from baseline to end point in the IIEF-EF, SEP-2, and SEP-3 scores were 7.2, 36.6, and 46.6%, respectively. In the placebo group, these changes were 2.0, 9.4, and 12.5%, respectively. When compared with the placebo group, aspirin-treated subjects showed a significant improvement in all three efficacy measures (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS 100 mg of aspirin administered once a day significantly improved EF in men with VED.

Abstract
Blood count parameters of patients referring with erectile dysfunction (ED) were examined in this study and it was investigated whether eosinophil count (EC), platelet count (PC), and mean platelet volume values among the suspected predictive parameters which may play a role in especially penile arteriogenic ED etiopathogenesis had a contribution on pathogenesis. Patients referring with ED complaint were evaluated. Depending on the medical story, ED degree was determined by measuring International Index of Erectile Function. Penile Doppler ultrasonography was taken in patients suspected to have vasculogenic ED. According to penile Doppler ultrasonography result, patients with arterial deficiency were included in the penile arteriogenic ED group and the patients with normal results were included in the nonvasculogenic ED group. A total of 36 patients participated in the study from the penile arteriogenic ED group and 32 patients from the nonvasculogenic ED group. Compared with the nonvasculogenic ED group, the penile arteriogenic ED group's low International Index of Erectile Function score, high EC, mean platelet volume and PC values were detected to be statistically significant ( p < .001, p = .021, p = .018, p = .034, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed among the two groups when age, white blood cells, red blood cells, and hemoglobin values were considered. Pansystolic volume velocities were detected as statistically significantly low compared with the nonvasculogenic ED group in the measurements made in 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th minutes on the right and left sides in the penile arteriogenic ED group. High MPV value and PC is a significant predictive factor for penile arteriogenic ED and vasculogenic ED and high EC is specifically predictive of arteriogenic ED.
