Number of total observations.
Number of lethal events.
Adjusted for age at diagnosis.
P value of VDR and CaSR or PTEN and CaSR multiplicative interaction is based on the Wald test.
Adjusted for age at diagnosis, BMI at diagnosis, Gleason grade, and pathological TNM.
High VDR is the upper one-third of expression; low VDR is the lower two-thirds of expression.
