Evaluation of the Sexual Desire Relationship Distress Scale (SDRDS) in Women with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The Sexual Desire Relationship Distress Scale (SDRDS) was developed to address the need for a patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure of sexual distress associated with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The SDRDS is a 17-item PRO that includes items related to personal distress and distress related to relationship with partner. AIM: The aim of this article was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the SDRDS among women with HSDD. METHODS: Pre- and post-menopausal women with HSDD or with no sexual dysfunction completed the SDRDS, Sexual Activity Questions, Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FSDS-R), and desire domain of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) at baseline and 2 and 4 weeks later. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome measures of this article were item performance, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity, known groups validity, and responsiveness of the SDRDS. RESULTS: Data from 260 women were analyzed: 101 in each of the pre- and post-menopausal HSDD groups and 29 in each of the pre- and post-menopausal control groups. No differences emerged between pre- and post-menopausal women. Least-squares mean (±standard errors [SE]) SDRDS score was higher in women with HSDD than in women with no sexual dysfunction (43.1 ± 0.9 vs. 6.1 ± 1.7; P < 0.0001), supporting known groups validity. Individual item scores correlated with total scores (r = 0.7-0.9; P < 0.0001). Internal consistency was high, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.973 at baseline. Test-retest reliability was good, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.89. SDRDS scores correlated strongly with other measures of sexual distress and sexual function including the FSDS-R and FSFI desire domain items. Preliminary analyses suggested that the SDRDS was sensitive to changes in clinical status. CONCLUSIONS: The SDRDS provides a comprehensive and reliable assessment of distress due to decreased sexual desire in women with HSDD and may be a useful measure of treatment effects in clinical trials in women with this condition.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
