10 Why Have Testosterone Prescriptions Increased? 1. Direct to consumer advertising 2. Subliminal promise of eternal youth 2. Gyms and Athletes Not prescribed but obtained via black market 12 % of high school athletes have taken steroids 3. Anti aging Clinics Run by physicians May recommend testosterone and growth hormone therapy 4. Increased awareness of Hypogonadism (1990 s) 5. Fear of prostate cancer has been answered TOM Trial NEJM
11 In Older Men an Optimal Plasma Testosterone is Associated with Reduced All Cause Mortality and Higher Dihydrotestosterone With Reduced Ischemic Heart Disease Mortality, While Estradiol Levels Do Not Predict Mortality Health in Men Study Perth Australia 4248 men studied at 5 yrs Of men that qualified: N = 2716 remained alive N = 974 died Men who died had an association with low T at baseline No relation of E2 with Mortality Normal T related to increased survival Yeap, et al (Aus) J Clin Endo Metab Epub 20 Nov 2013 doi: /jc Adverse Events Associated With Testosterone Administration: TOM Study Basaria, Bhasin et al (Boston) N.E.J.M. 2010; E-pub 30 June: /NEJMoa TOM = Testosterone in Older Men with Mobility Limitation N = 209 men, > 65 years of age (of the 252 desired by power analysis) Baseline TT ng/dl ( free T < 50 pg/ml or 170 pmol/l ) 1% testosterone gel used, 10 Gm QD, titrated to 5.0 or 15.0, 6 mo rx Aimed for TT between 500 and 1000 ng/dl Results of muscle performance and physical functionwere positive 11

14 In Older Men an Optimal Plasma Testosterone is Associated with Reduced All Cause Mortality and Higher Dihydrotestosterone With Reduced Ischemic Heart Disease Mortality, While Estradiol Levels Do Not Predict Mortality Optimal androgen levels are a biomarker for survival because older men with midrange levels of T and DHT had the lowest death rates from any cause Note the trend for increasing mortality with higher T and DHT levels: Especially TT > 30 nmol/l (864ng/dL) Or cft > 500 pmol/l?

19 Association of Testosterone Therapy With Mortality, Myocardial Infarction, and Stroke in Men With Low Testosterone Levels Since population biased for CAD How to generalize this data to apply to a general population? Applied the stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting There are no standardized method of assigning statistical weights Subjective definitions by each study group Over 50 variables were weighted, but it was not clear if there was any adjustment for multiple risk factors, or whether and how the authors took into consideration to correlations between the factors N=1132 men excluded from the study Not available for the T risk Group Should have been added to the NON T Group Could have made a separate arm Vigen, et al (VA Study in USA) J.A.M.A. 2013; 310: JAMA Abstracts Before and after Revision The absolute rate of events were 19.9% in the no testosterone group vs 25.7% in the testosterone therapy group, with an absolute risk difference of 5.8% at 3 years after coronary arteriography At 3 years after coronary arteriography, the Kaplan-Meier estimated cumulative percentages with events were 19.9% in the no testosterone therapy group vs 25.7% in the testosterone therapy group, with an absolute risk difference of 5.8% 19
20 Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypogonadism Diagnosis of Hypogonadism Total T < 300 ng/dl (10.4 nmol/l) has been the standard in the past The definition of testosterone deficiency involves a biochemical number plus consistent signs and symptoms of androgen deficiency Bhasin S, et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2010; 95: There is no mention in the JAMA report of any symptomotology No mention of any confirmatory blood test being done Up to 30% of low TT has been shown to be normal on retesting Brambilla DJ, et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 2007; 67: No mention of the time of day the test was done Even many repeat TT in Am in older men were found to be normal Brambilla DJ, et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 2007; 67: Only 60% of the men had post rx Testosterone levels The 40% with no tests should have been eliminated from the study Vigen, et al (VA Study in USA) J.A.M.A. 2013; 310: Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypogonadism Treatment of Testosterone Deficiency.? Inadequate 63.9% of the men were given the low, 2.5 mg, Testosterone patch The VA requires that T treatment is begun with patches Most clinicians would start at 5.0 mg Also, nearly half of the men develop dermatitis The mean number of refills was 6 So, 80% of the men were treated for about 6 months The mean treatment T level was 332 ng/dl (11.5 nmol?l) and levels of T on treatment was only carried out in 60% of the men Many feel that the cutoff for testosterone deficiency should be a TT < 350 ng/dl (12.1 nmol/l) Wang C, et al. J Androl 2009 doi: /jandrol Maggi M, et al. J Sex Med 2013; 10: Bhasin S,et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2011; 95: Vigen, et al (VA Study in USA) J.A.M.A. 2013; 310:
21 Finkle et al PLOS one On line Journal January 2014 Increased Risk of Non Fatal Myocardial Infarction Following Testosterone Therapy Prescription in Men Cohort Formation 1 st Prescription for Testosterone.N = 55,593 (48,539 men < 65) Comparison population 1 st Prescription for PDE5.N = 167,279 Post Prescription F/U 90 days..then from days because many men dropped out in the first 90 days Pre Prescription..25 months!!!!...how cam you compare 90 days and 25 months? Why PDE5 as comparison group because some indications for prescription are similar to those for T Transcription.WRONG!!! Only indication for PDE5 is ED, and ED not an indication for TT because PDE5 s not associated with cardiovascular events Makes populations quite different.. Men with multiple medical co factors may not be eligible to receive a PDE5 Finkle WD, et al PLOS/one Jan 2014/ V9/ Issue 1/ e
22 Increased Risk of Non Fatal Myocardial Infarction Following Testosterone Therapy Prescription in Men PDE5 patients were weighted to match the TT cohort on odds of testosterone prescription.. So a guess 141,031./. 167,279 = 84% chance of needing a prescription Without weighting there are more men with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, heart disease, asthma, SSRI s, Corticosteroids, insulin and anti-diabetic drugs in the T Rx group Putting the odds at 84% evens the groups out wonderfully well Finkle WD, et al PLOS/one Jan 2014/ V9/ Issue 1/ e Increased Risk of Non Fatal Myocardial Infarction Following Testosterone Therapy Prescription in Men So what is the true prevalence of hypogonadism in ED? 1. Kohler. Prevalence of And Def in ED. Urology 2008 Prevalence of 23% (TT < 300ng/dL) 2. Somani. Screening for MS and T Def in ED. BJU Int 2010 Prevalence of 27% ( with cft < 220 pmol/l) 3. Guay. Characterization of men in an endocrine clinic. Endo Prac 1999 Prevalence of 36% (TT < 300 ng/dl) 4. Wu. Identification of LOH in Eur Male Aging Study. N.E.J.M Prevalence of 33% (with cft < 220 pmol/l) 5. Isidori. Critical analysis of Testosterone on erectile function. Eur Urol 2013 Prevalence between 23% and 36% Why bother to worry about the prevalence? There is no mention of T levels, before or after a rx for testosterone There is no assurance that the men ever took the medication Finkle WD, et al PLOS/one Jan 2014/ V9/ Issue 1/ e
23 Take Home Messages I would not recommend stopping testosterone therapy o the basis of the recent publicized studies There is overwhelming evidence that the opposite is true, i.e., cardiovascular risk is related to low testosterone Androgen Study Group 23
