Interactions obtained by adding each one separately to the main effects model. Model 1 contains only the main effects, Model 2 contains the main effects and the site size/R&A grant interaction, Model 3 contains the main effects and the age/site performance interaction, and Model 4 contains the main effects and the age/study drug adherence interaction.

a

Median age at year 6 for this group

b

Site size is defined as smaller (≤200 participants registered) or larger (> 200 participants registered)

c

Age is defined as younger (≤ 68) and older (> 68)

Abbreviations: DRE = digital rectal examination; PSA = prostate specific antigen; R&A = retention and adherence
