Cells display hazard ratio (95% confidence interval), p-value

HDL=high density lipoprotein; LDL=low density lipoprotein

^§Hazard ratios are for every 10 mg/dL increase

^*Hazard ratios are adjusted for age, race, pre-operative PSA, year of surgery, BMI, surgical center, statin use, pathological Gleason score, prostate weight, positive surgical margins, extracapsular extension, and seminal vesicle invasion
