CI = confidence interval; GI = gastrointestinal; GU = genitourinary; IPSS = International Prostate Symptom Score; N = total number for level; OR = odds ratio; REF= reference; SBRT = stereotactic body radiotherapy.

a

Models assess probability of experiencing toxicity: OR >1 indicates higher odds of toxicity; OR <1 indicates lower odds of toxicity.

b

For continuous factors, odds ratio corresponds to a one-unit increase.
