Construction and internal validation of a prediction nomogram for acquired premature ejaculation (APE) in PE patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A predictive model for acquired premature ejaculation (APE) in PE patients has not yet been established.

Objectives

This study was aimed at determining which factors were independently associated with the possibility of predicting APE in PE patients, and whether an effective pre-treatment nomogram for predicting their individual chances of being APE in PE patients can be developed.

Materials and methods

We analyzed the medical histories of 915 PE patients diagnosed at Xijing Hospital (Xi'an, China) and Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital (Xi'an, China) between May 2019 and May 2020. The diagnostic nomogram was developed using a multivariate logistic regression model by integrating selected significant variables determined through univariate analysis.
