PROMIS SexFS = Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sexual Function and Satisfaction measure, version 2.0; BIS = Body Image Scale; HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.

In addition to the variables reported in the table, the following variables were also controlled for in all models: age, education (university vs other), occupation (full-time vs other), and the BIS. These variables were all nonsignificant.

Answered by individuals who have had sexual activity (with or without partner) during the past 30 days.

PROMIS SexFS cutoff for dysfunction = 1 SD from the T-score mean of the norm population.49

Owing to few (<30) cases in the outcome variable, lower cut-off was used, that is, 0.5 SD.
