Unadjusted odds ratio represents the likelihood that the candidate surrogate was observed in men randomized to receive RT compared with RT and ADT. Mantel-Haenszel χ2 is used to compare the distributions of categorical variables. Wilcoxon 2-sample test is used to compare the distributions of continuous variable.
