Abstract：Objective:To systematically analyze the correlation between psoriasis and erectile dysfunction (ED).Methods:We searched the Cochrane Library,EMbase,PubMed,OVID,Medline,VIP,WanFang,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM via SinoMed) for the published literature about the relationship between psoriasis and ED up to June 2016.According to inclusion and exclusion criteria,two researchers respectively extracted the relevant data and made a meta-analysis on the correlation of psoriasis with ED and ⅡEF-5 scores using the Review Manager 5.3 software.Results:A total of 6 studies were included in this analysis.The analysis with the fixed-effects model revealed a significant correlation between psoriasis and ED (OR =1.92,95％ CI:1.53-2.40,P ＜ 0.01),and that on 3 of the studies with the random-effects model showed that the ⅡEF-5 scores were significantly lower in psoriasis patients than in non-psoriasis males (MD =-3.11,95％ CI:-4.85--1.37,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion:There is a certain correlation between psoriasis and ED.Psoriasis patients may have a higher incidence of ED though it is to be further confirmed by more higher-quality studies.
