a

Adjusted for age (categorical variable), race (African-American compared with Whites), South Carolina region (three areas), and prostate cancer screening in the past 5 years before the referent date (yes annual screening vs no).

b

Annual defined as PSA or DRE at least once a year for the past 5 years.

OR=odds ratios; aOR=adjusted odds ratio; CI=confidence interval; BMI=body mass index; PSA=prostate-specific antigen; DRE=digital rectal exam.
