“…[24] found that impotence was the most distressful symptom, even though this was not the most frequently occurring symptom. Although dissatisfaction with sex life has been reported to continue up to one and a half years after HTx [16,22], this study demonstrates that SD can persist as far out as 10 years post‐operatively. These findings suggest that patients with greater sexual satisfaction may enjoy improved QoL after HTx.…”

“…Previously, we have shown that there is a high rate of SD in patients with heart failure [6]. It appears that SD persists even after HTx [2,16–18], although the overall prevalence of SD in this population is unclear, especially with increasing numbers of transplant survivors. This study not only reveals a substantial rate of SD after HTx, but its persistence even up to a decade after surgery, with no significant difference between genders.…”

Introduction The impact of sexual dysfunction (SD) on mental and physical health after heart transplantation (HTx) has not been established. Aim We investigated the relationship of SD on quality of life (QoL), physical and mental health, and depressive symptoms after HTx. Main Outcome Measures We evaluated SD according to the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction and the Female Sexual Function Index. QoL, physical and mental health were assessed using: 1) Short Form 12 Health Survey Questionnaire, 2) Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire—Short Form, and two depressive symptoms questionnaires: 1) Beck Depression Inventory-II and 2) Quick Inventory Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report. Methods We enrolled patients who were greater than 6 months post HTx. Patients unable to read English, had pelvic surgery or trauma, urogenital abnormalities, or sexually inactive were excluded. Results Out of 79 subjects that were screened, 33 men and 6 women participated (mean age 61.4+11.4). Response rates were at least 82% for all questionnaires. Overall prevalence of SD was 61%, with 78% of men being affected and 50% of women. There was no significant difference in measures between genders. HTx recipients with SD reported significantly worse QoL on measures of physical health when compared to those without SD. After HTx, patients suffering from SD had significantly worse general health (P = 0.02) and physical health (P = 0.02), including physical functioning (P = 0.01) and physical role limitation (P = 0.01). In contrast, mental health and depressive symptoms after HTx were not significantly different between those with and without SD. Conclusions After HTx a high prevalence of SD remains among both men and women. Patients with SD had worse general and physical health but not depressive symptoms when compared to those without SD. The contributing factors may be more related to physical rather than psychological causes.

“…The SESAMO test was chosen because it can detect potential physical and psychological issues linked to the psychosexual-relationship sphere [18]. The SESAMO areas that presented a percentile rank that was greater than the 50 th percentile were considered areas to be monitored, and those that were ≥70 were investigated in depth.…”

“…The questionnaire was composed of 62 items for single males and 81 items for males in a relationship, while there were 64 and 85 items for single and non-single females, respectively [13,14]. The SESAMO is known to have also been used in international contexts [17,18,19]. The test was in 'paper and pencil' form and answers were analysed using conversion grills both in z-scores and in percentile ranks for each area.…”
