Sexual function means for responding male and female relapse-free survivors (RFSs) from before transplantation (N = 109) to 5 years after transplantation (n = 80), measured on the same scale, although with different problem items. Means are also graphed for non-RFS patients before transplantation (n = 49) and controls at 5 years (n = 77). Both men and women declined in average sexual function from before transplantation to 6 months afterward (P < .01). Women did not improve from 6-month post-transplantation levels by 5 years (P = .17) and remained below matched controls (P = .03). Men improved by 2 years (P = .02) but remained below their respective controls at 5 years (P = .01).
