Talking about premature ejaculation in primary care: the GET UP cluster randomised controlled trial

BACKGROUND: Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common sexual dysfunction in males. A previous qualitative study identified six communication strategies described by GPs to tackle this topic during consultations.

description BACKGROUND: Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common sexual dysfunction in males. A previous qualitative study identified six communication strategies described by GPs to tackle this topic during consultations. AIM: To determine whether these six strategies are more effective than usual care for promoting discussion about PE between patients and their GPs. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cluster randomised controlled trial, stratified in four French regions, with an intervention group (GPs who received a training session on the six communication strategies) and a control group (routine medical care). Participants were males aged 18–80 years consulting for a sexual, urogenital, or psychological reason. METHOD: The efficacy of the training session in communication skills, compared with usual care, was evaluated by determining the percentage of patients who discussed PE with their GP (primary outcome). The percentage of enrolled patients with PE was calculated using a cut-off score >9 of the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) completed by the enrolled patients at Week 4 after the consultation. The quality-of-life changes were evaluated as the SF-12 scale score difference between baseline and Week 4 post-consultation. RESULTS: In total, 130 patients were included by 32 GPs (n = 16 in the intervention and n = 16 in the control group). The percentage of patients who discussed PE was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (42.0% versus 4.9%, absolute difference = 37.1%; 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 24% to 50%, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Training GPs in communication strategies about PE improves its detection.
