  1. Statistical analysis: Multivariate analysis evaluated the impact of ischemic priapism duration, age, and comorbidities on ED outcomes, with patients grouped by duration (0–4, 4–8, 8–12, 12–20, 20–36, 36+ hours). The 0–4 h group served as the reference for ED risk. All analyses were performed in R (Version 4.4.1), with statistical significance defined as p < 0.05.
