Abbreviations: AR, androgen receptor; AUR, acute urinary retention; n, valid data patient; PSA, prostate-specific antigen; TPV, total prostate volume; TURP, transurethral resection of prostate; (–), absence of expression; (+), presence of expression.
Immune inflammation, if immune inflammation score was more than two.
*P<0.05, compared with non-immune inflammation group.
P<0.05, compared with AR expression negative group.
