Figure 1

The effect of hip fracture on mortality is studied in three groups (blue boxes): men free of PCa, PCa men not on ADT, and PCa men on ADT. The effects are quantified using standardized mortality rates (SMRs) so that all three groups (blue boxes) are compared to the Swedish male population (yellow arrows). To take into account the effect of PCa on mortality, the two PCa groups are also compared to all men diagnosed with PCa, as registered in PCBaSe (red arrows).
