There were 47 CRPC, 76 metastases, 329 all-cause deaths, and 35 prostate cancer-specific deaths

*

Adjusted for VA center and clinical and pathological characteristics: age, PSA, year of surgery, pathological Gleason score, positive margins, extracapsular extension, seminal vesicles and lymph node involvement

CRPC=castration-resistant prostate cancer; NLR= neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; PLR= platelet-lymphocyte ratio; ACM=all-cause mortality; PCSM=prostate cancer-specific mortality; HR=hazard ratio
