Testosterone replacement therapy is associated with high satisfaction rates: results of a survey study.

The majority of patients receiving TRT were satisfied with their current treatment regimen.

• 62.7% of 140 men surveyed reported satisfaction with their current TRT regimen.
• The study was conducted at a single institution using an open survey format.
• Survey questions investigated demographics, symptom burden of TD, TRT regimen, treatment preferences, and treatment satisfaction.

Auto-injector use was associated with the highest satisfaction rates among TRT delivery methods.

• 91.7% of auto-injector users reported satisfaction with their TRT regimen.
• Auto-injector use was associated with an odds ratio of 9.3 for satisfaction (p < 0.05).
• This was the highest satisfaction rate among all delivery methods studied.

Subcutaneous pellet use was associated with high TRT satisfaction rates.

• 90.0% of subcutaneous pellet users reported satisfaction with their TRT regimen.
• Subcutaneous pellet use was associated with the highest odds ratio for satisfaction at OR = 15.2 (p < 0.05).

Intramuscular injections were associated with significantly increased TRT satisfaction rates.

• 67.5% of intramuscular injection users reported satisfaction with their TRT regimen.
• Intramuscular injection use was associated with an odds ratio of 5.7 for satisfaction (p < 0.05).

The majority of patients indicated a preference for self-administered or home-administered TRT injections.

• When asked about delivery preferences, most patients preferred injection-based TRT administered by themselves or at home.
• This preference was noted across the survey population of 140 men.
