Data on patients who had not died by the time of analysis were censored on the last date the patient was known to be alive or was available for follow-up. Each test was carried out at a significance level of 0.05. CI denotes confidence interval, ECOG Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, and PSA prostate-specific antigen.
