There has been increasing interest in the psycho-socio-relational and sexual disorders of infertility,as the risk of psychological burden among infertile men with sexual dysfunctions is significant.The purpose of this study was to develop and to validate a predictive model to estimate individual psychological burden among infertile men with sexual dysfunction and study the association between them.Comprehensive data were collected for infertile men (n =480) who sought treatment for infertility in a reproductive medicine center between June 2012 and December 2013.Using independent predictors of psychological burden from the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator,univariable and multivariable analyses were developed into two models.Predictive accuracy was compared between the models.We explored the association between sexual dysfunction and psychological burden.A total of 480 patients were analyzed using 10-fold cross-validation.Independent predictors of psychological burden were incorporated into a model to measure anxiety (corrected-area under curve (AUC):77.3％) and a model to measure depression (corrected-AUC:70.2％).Anxiety and depression were both associated with erectile dysfunction (P ＜ 0.05),with anxiety demonstrating the strongest association.Only anxiety was associated with premature ejaculation (P ＜ 0.05).Premature ejaculation was not found to be associated with depression (P ＞ 0.05).Predictive models for psychological burden among infertile men with sexual dysfunction are presented,and we found that there is an association between psychological burden and sexual dysfunction.According to the models,proper counseling and treatment of sexual dysfunction in infertile men may reduce the psychological burden,help attain natural pregnancy,and improve the quality of life.
