Table 3.

Patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction with various modalities of TRT. When each distinct time-point was considered, significance was noted in the rates of satisfaction in patients on Pellets compared to Injections at <6 months as well as between the Gel and Pellet patients at the 6-12 months time point. Rates of dis-satisfaction were similar between all modalities.

	<6 months	6-12 months	13-24 months	25-36 months	>36 months
Overall Satisfied Patients (n=264)	62.8% (n=54/86)	78.4% (n=58/74)	70.8% (n=63/89)	79.3% (n=23/29)	69.5% (n=66/95)
Satisfaction based on TRT:
Gel Satisfied	65.0% (n=13/20	62.5% (n=10/16)#	68.2% (n=15/22)	76.9% (n=10/13)	69.8% (n=30/43)
Gel Dissatisfied	5% (n=1/20)	18.8% (n=3/16)	22.7% (n=5/22)	15.4% (n=2/13)	18.6% (n=8/43)
Pellet Satisfied	38.9% (n=7/18)*	95.2% (n=20/21)$	68.8% (n=11/16)	100% (n=1/1)	71.4% (n=5/7)
Pellet Dissatisfied	16.7% (n=3/18)	4.8% (n=1/21)	25% (n=4/16)	0% (n=0/1)	14.3% (n=1/7)
Injection Satisfied	70.8% (n=34/48)#	75.7% (n=28/37)	72.5% (n=37/51)	80.0% (n=12/15)	68.9% (n=31/45)
Injection Dissatisfied	6.3% (n=3/48)	16.2% (n=6/37)	13.7% (n=7/51)	6.7% (n=1/15)	13.3% (n=6/45)

A significance of p<0.05 was depicted as:
