Novel indicator for erectile dysfunction: the CALLY index, evidence from data of NHANES 2001-2004.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study explored the association between the C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index and erectile dysfunction (ED).

Patients and methods

Data from 2,128 participants in the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed and classified into ED and non-ED groups.Additionally, a separate analysis of complete erectile dysfunction was conducted.A weighted multiple logistic regression model was used to assess the association between CALLY and ED, while smooth curve fitting was applied to explore their linear relationship.ROC analysis was conducted to compare the predictive accuracy (AUC) of CALLY, Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation
