Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Diary Question 4 at Week 12 Endpoint
Assessed as the mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to the SEP diary Question 4, Were you satisfied with the hardness of your erection? Data are presented as the mean percentage of yes responses per the number of sexual attempts for a participant during a study period. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment group, region, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.
Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks
Population: Participants with non-missing baseline value and at least one non-missing post baseline value.

| Tadalafil 5 mg | Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Diary Question 4 at Week 12 Endpoint | 26.6 percentage of yes responses | Standard Error 2.48 |

Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Diary Question 5
Assessed as the mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to the SEP diary Question 5, Were you satisfied overall with this sexual experience? Data are presented as the mean percentage of yes responses per the number of sexual attempts for a participant during a study period. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment group, region, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

Clinician Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) at Week 12 Endpoint
A scale that measures clinician's rating of the total change in the patient's urinary symptoms at endpoint compared with the start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse).The data are presented as the number of participants in each of the seven categories: very much better (1); much better (2); a little better (3); no change (4); a little worse (5); much worse (6); very much worse (7).
Time frame: 12 weeks
Population: Participants started study medication, and had non-missing data.
