Statistically significant values indicate bold.

GnRHa = gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, IHD = ischemic heart disease, MI = myocardial infarction, DM = diabetes mellitus, CVA = cerebrovascular attack, HR = hazard ratio, CI = confidence interval.

aMultivariate Cox regression models were used to estimate primary outcomes. All models were adjusted for age at diagnosis, residence (urban vs. suburban/rural), socioeconomic status (National Health Insurance vs. Medicaid), prior medication, prior antiandrogen use, past medical history, and comorbidity index.
