Primary Care ERectile Function Outcome Registry for Men

The PERFORM registry is a structured, real-world data platform designed to systematically capture patient characteristics, disease severity and treatment patterns of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) across Pakistan. By reflecting routine clinical practice, an ED registry provides valuable insights into the disease epidemiology, unmet needs, and variations in care across populations. It supports evidence-based decision-making, helps identifying early predictors, and inform guideline development, health policy, and personalized management strategies in male sexual health.
