The premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) is a brief diagnostic measure to assess premature ejaculation (PE). However, there is insufficient evidence regarding its validity in the new evidence?based?defined PE. This study was performed to evaluate the validity of PEDT and its association with IIEF?15 in different types of evidence?based?defined PE. From June 2015 to January 2016, a total of 260 men complaining of PE and defined as lifelong PE (LPE)/acquired PE (APE) according to the evidence?based definition from Andrology Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, along with 104 male healthy controls without PE from a medical examination center, were enrolled in this study. All individuals completed questionnaires including demographics, medical and sexual history, as well as PEDT and IIEF?15. After statistical analysis, it was found that men with PE reported higher PEDT scores (14.28 ± 3.05) and lower IIEF?15 (41.26 ± 8.20) than men without PE (PEDT: 5.32 ± 3.42, IIEF?15: 52.66 ± 6.86, P < 0.001 for both). It was suggested that a score of ≥9 indicated PE in both LPE and APE by sensitivity and specificity analyses (sensitivity: 0.875, 0.913; specificity: 0.865, 0.865, respectively). In addition, IIEF?15 were higher in men with LPE (42.64 ± 8.11) than APE (39.43 ± 7.84, P < 0.001). After adjusting for age, IIEF?15 was negatively related to PEDT in men with LPE (adjust r = ?0.225, P < 0.001) and APE (adjust r = ?0.378, P < 0.001). In this study, we concluded that PEDT was valid in the diagnosis of evidenced?based?defined PE. Furthermore, IIEF?15 was negatively related to PEDT in men with different types of PE.
