Note. aVisits in the first 6 weeks after radical prostatectomy were excluded. bAge at surgery defined as a continuous variable. cHigh risk was defined as Gleason score of 4 + 3 or Gleason sum ≥8 or stage ≥3. dModels included age at surgery, race, residence, education, marital status, and disease aggressiveness.
