a

Number of total observations.

b

Number of lethal events.

c

Adjusted for age at diagnosis.

d

P value of VDR and CaSR or PTEN and CaSR multiplicative interaction is based on the Wald test.

e

Adjusted for age at diagnosis, BMI at diagnosis, Gleason grade, and pathological TNM.

f

High VDR is the upper one-third of expression; low VDR is the lower two-thirds of expression.
