Comparison of smoking, drug abuse history, Arabic index of premature ejaculation (AIPE), and the hormonal profile in control and patients with premature ejaculation as per the result of drug abuse testing

Variables	Control n = 48 Median (IQR)			Premature ejaculation n = 76 Median (IQR)
	Negative drug abuse n = 39	Positive drug abuse n = 9	P	Negative drug abuse n = 50	Positive drug abuse n = 26	P
Smoking (%)	0% (0/39)	100% (9/9)	<.0001	30% (15/50)	92.3% (24/26)	<.0001
History of drug abuse (%)	13.3% (5/39)	88.9% (8/9)	<.0001	20% (10/50)	88.5% (23/26)	<.0001
AIPE	33 (31–34)	32.5 (31–33.5)	.51	18 (16–23)	18.5 (16–22.5)	.85
Total testosterone (ng/mL)	6.6 (3.7–8.6)	4.1 (1.9–7)	.78	6.2 (2.6–7.7)	5.5 (2.6–7.5)	.45
LH (mIU/mL)	3.6 (2.4–5.1)	2.1 (1.7–3)	.65	3.3 (2.4–5)	2.7 (1.9–5)	.36
FSH (mIU/mL)	4.3 (2.2–5.6)	2.4 (1.7–5.6)	.38	4.2 (2.5–5.6)	2.7 (1.8–4)	.28

Bold indicates significant P-value ≤.05.

FSH = follicle stimulating hormone; IQR = interquartile range; LH = luteinizing hormone.
