Table 3.

Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression to evaluate the association between different definitions of PSA dynamics and prostate-cancer–specific mortality. Hazard ratios are shown for a standard deviation increase in the PSA dynamics. Bold face represents significant associations.
