BACKGROUND: Among @entity6 @entity1 @entity4148 ( @entity4148 ) is one of the most frequent complications. This affects peripheral nervous system and thus results into @entity323 ( @entity323 ). The main objectives of the study were to determine the frequency of @entity4148 ( @entity4148 ) in @entity6 @entity1 with @entity323 and to find out the associated risk factors. METHODS: In this descriptive case series, a total 200 consecutive @entity1 of @entity6 with @entity323 attended the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism (DEM), Services Hospital Lahore during three months (from June to August 2013), were included. For assessing @entity323 ( @entity323 ) and @entity4148 ( @entity4148 ) International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Composite Autonomic Scoring System (CASS) were used respectively. Other factors impacting the autonomic functions in @entity6 like duration of @entity6 , age of @entity1 , body mass index (BMI), and glycaemic control (HbAlc), @entity101 and smoking status were recorded. RESULTS: Average age of the @entity1 was 57.58  9.53 years (95% C.I. 55.54-59.63). Frequency of @entity4148 ( @entity4148 ) in @entity323 @entity1 was 86 (43%). Duration of @entity6 and BMI were statistically significantly different among @entity1 with severe, moderate and mild @entity4148 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity4148 was very frequent in @entity6 @entity1 with @entity323 . The associated risk factors are duration of disease and body mass index.
