Overview

Cross-sectional analytical study validates IIEF-15 for diagnosing erectile dysfunction in Colombian men, suggesting effectiveness for clinical use.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the validity and reliability of the IIEF-15 questionnaire after cultural adaptation for Colombian men with erectile dysfunction.
  • Cross-sectional study involving 150 men aged 19-75 with clinically diagnosed ED in Bogotá, Colombia.
  • Translation and cultural adaptation followed international guidelines including forward and back translations and pilot testing.
  • Analyses conducted included exploratory factor analysis, sampling adequacy tests, Cronbach’s alpha, and test-retest reliability assessments.
  • KMO index of 0.89 demonstrated excellent sampling adequacy; EFA revealed eight factors accounting for 76.4% of variance.
  • Internal consistency for all domains was high (Cronbach’s alpha >0.80) while test-retest reliability was very high (ICC=0.95; 95% CI: 0.90-0.97).
  • Instrument sensitivity was 85.2% and specificity was 75.0% compared to clinical diagnosis.
