Erectile Dysfunction and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

چکیده
Methods The PubMed database was searched through January 2011 to identify studies that met pre-stated inclusion criteria. Reference lists of retrieved articles were also reviewed. Two authors independently extracted information on the designs of the studies, the characteristics of the study participants, exposure and outcome assessments, and control for potential confounding factors. Either a fixedor a random-effects model was used to calculate the overall combined risk estimates.
