aCategorical variables are presented as frequencies (%) and continuous variables are presented as medians (Q1, Q3), if not otherwise specified.

bThe 5-year surgical complications included secondary surgery and urine retention.

cP-values are calculated by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables and the chi-square test for categorical variables.

dDiabetes mellitus and hypertension were defined as having the respective diagnosis and medication within 1 year before the index date. Cardiovascular diseases, psychosis, menopause syndrome and constipation were defined by the diagnosis within 1 year before the index date. Stroke history was defined as having the diagnosis before the index date. Detailed definitions are listed in the Supplemental Table 1.

eMedication use within 1 year before the index date.

fBiochemical values measured within 1 year prior to and closest to the index date.

geGFR is calculated using the CKD-EPI Eq. (141 × min(S-Cre/κ, 1)α × max(S-Cre/κ, 1) − 1.209 × 0.993age × 1.018 [if female] × 1.159 [if black]).

hUrodynamic testing within the 3-year period prior to and closest to the index date.
