This wasdifficult as many sex-related terms do not exist in colloquial Malay. In the pretest, there was nodifficulty with comprehension and all subjects judged the Malay IIEF equivalent to the English IIEF.
After slight modification, a final instrument was evaluated in two studies. Study A included 136subjects. It showed that the instrument had good reliability and discriminant validity. The factorstructure of the English IIEF was not reproducible. Study B included 26 ED subjects who underwentoral sildenafil therapy. The Malay IIEF was sensitive to treatment response. The area under theROC curve of the Malay IIEF-5 was 0.86; the optimal cutoff score has a sensitivity of 85% andspecificity of 75%. The results suggest that the Malay IIEF requires more work, but the Malay IIEF-5has acceptable measurement properties to recommend its use in clinical practice and research.

Sensitivity, specificity, and the correct classification rate Translating and adapting the English IIEF intoMalay Our experience with translating and adapting the English IIEF into Malay was more difficult than had been the experience described with other Asian languages such as Thai and Chinese.10 In retrospect,this perhaps should not have surprised us. Whilethe experience of sex is undoubtedly universal andmost sex-related concepts exist at least implicitly in observed in all domains. The change was most all cultures, it is also undeniable that cultures differ salient in the EF score, and the IIEF-5 score.

The sample size was insufficient the key words and concepts referred to in the IIEF for determining the specificity of IIEF. Hence, results simply do not exist in the same highly developed forms as it does in English. The equivalent words orconcepts in formal Malay were themselves of Arabic or English origin, the colloquial form often simplydid not exist. When some of these words exist, theyrefer to the subject somewhat obliquely rather than Figure 1 shows the ROC curve for IIEF-5. While the in a direct fashion, for example, sexual intercourse graph suggests that the IIEF-5 does diagnostically means literally ‘to join in one body’ in Malay, or it distinguish between ED and non-ED, the area under has moral overtones beyond the word itself, for the curve is only 0.86.

Further, sex is a taboo with reduced diagnostic performance. The AUC of subject and may thus result in anxiety among 0.86 may compare unfavorably with the AUC of 0.97 respondents.
