Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The accurate assessment of erectile function before radical prostatectomy, using validated questionnaires like IIEF-5, is crucial to evaluate postoperative changes in erectile function, as the preoperative erectile function is a prognostic factor for the postoperative recovery of erectile function. In clinical practice, patients usually present at the urologist's office 3 months after the operation without a preoperative IIEF-5 score and at that time the doctors ask them about their preoperative erectile function. With this study, the investigators would like to evaluate the agreement between a real-time preoperative IIEF-5 and a recalled one 3 months after radical prostatectomy.

- description
- Score of recalled IIEF-5 collected 3 months after radical prostatectomy. The IIEF is a validated, brief and reliable self-administered questionnaire for assessing erectile function. The abridged five-item version of the 15-item IIEF possesses favorable properties for detecting the presence and severity of erectile dysfunction for the preceding 6 months. The IIEF-5 consists of five questions, each of which is scored on a five-point ordinal scale and erectile dysfunction may be classified into five categories based on the calculated scores. Based on IIEF-5 scores, erectile dysfunction severity is classified into the following five categories: severe (5±7), moderate (8±11), mild to moderate (12±16), mild (17±21), and no erectile dysfunction (22± 25).
