The variables used in calculating the propensity matching | Age, PSA, T stage |
---|---|
Propensity scoring algorithm | Logistic regression model |
C-statistical | 0.64 |
Matching method | Greedy matching within specified caliper distances |
Distance metric | 0.05 |
Matching ratio | (AS/WW) 1:1 (focal therapy) |
