Papers・Description | Although testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is the first-choice method used worldwide for late-onset hypogonadism (LOH), clinical benefits are not seen in all cases. This study was conducted to determine the predictors of TRT efficacy for LOH. Fifty-six patients who visited our Men's Health Clinic (Kawanishi City Medical Center, Kawanishi and Hyogo Medical University, Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan) between November 2003 and June 2021 with data available before and after TRT were enrolled. They were divided into responders (Group 1; n = 45, accounting for 80.4%) and nonresponders (Group 2; n = 11, accounting for 19.6%) based on the clinical response to TRT, including patient satisfaction. |
