Abbreviations: PSA prostate-specific antigen, ≥2 adverse pathologic features as endpoint

aDenotes categorical variables. Body mass index, categorical uses BMI <25 kg/m2 as reference

Race use White as reference category; “Other” race was dropped from model due to small numbers

Clinical stage, categorical uses (T1; T2a, T2b; >T2c), with T1c as reference category

Clinical Gleason score, categorical (6, 7, ≥8); with 6 as reference category

P values derived from a logistic regression model

Boldfaced values represent statistically significance
