HRs indicates hazard ratios; 95% CIs, 95% confidence intervals.
A total of 3456 men were excluded from analysis because of unknown male factor infertility status.
Adjusted for age, infertility treatment duration, and infertility treatment facility.
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) grade 2: moderately well-differentiated, Gleason score of 5 to 7.
SEER grade 3: poorly differentiated, Gleason score of 8 to 10.
