SAT-030 The Barnsley Diabetes Hypogonadal Questionnaire (BDHQ) - Validation for the Clinical Use to Support the Diagnosis of Testosterone Deficiency in Men with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)

摘要

The Aging Males’ Symptoms (AMS) scale is used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and erectile dysfunction (ED) in hypogonadal men. However, this questionnaire hasn’t been validated specifically for use in hypogonadal men with T2D. BDHQ was developed using data collected in the Barnsley Type 2 Diabetes Cohort Longitudinal Study based on AMS, The International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire, and The Short Form (36) Health Questionnaire. Statistical analysis identified the 19 most sensitive and specific questions for identifying men with hypogonadism in a T2D population.
