Abstract
Sildenafil treatment significantly improved erection maintenance, a physiologic requirement for satisfactory sexual performance. According to our model, only approximately half of the effect of sildenafil on erection maintenance was estimated to be driven through direct effects. Rather, the effect of sildenafil on erection maintenance seems to be substantially driven by erection hardness. Therefore, achievement of optimal initial erection hardness appears to be an important treatment goal for enhancing erection maintenance and achieving successful ED treatment.
