Multivariate Cox regression model on timing to biochemical recurrence and its association with type of probe.
| Variable | Hazard ratio | 95% confidence interval | p |
|---|---|---|---|
| V-Probe® vs. fixed-size ice probe | 0.78 | 0.45–1.32 | 0.344 |
| Preoperative PSA | 1.09 | 1.03–1.15 | 0.003 |
| Neoadjuvant ADT | 1.65 | 1.07–2.54 | 0.022 |
| Preoperative Gleason score | 1.03 | 0.81–1.32 | 0.811 |
| Preoperative ≥cT2 compared to cT1 | 1.56 | 1.03–2.37 | 0.035 |
ADT = androgen deprivation therapy; cT1 = clinical stage T1 [non-palpable disease]; cT2 = clinical stage T2 [organ-confined palpable disease]; PSA = prostate-specific antigen.
