Comparison of patient-reported quality of life outcome questionnaire response rates between patients treated surgically for renal cell carcinoma and prostate carcinoma

Table 2 Association of patient and surgical characteristics in n = 616 PCa patients versus response to QoL collected at one- or two-year follow-up

Variable^a	Non-responder (n = 230)	Responder (n = 386)	P-value^b
Age at surgery	62.6 (29.9, 76.8)	64.1 (42.9, 78.4)	0.032
Surgery type
RRP	83 (36 %)	171 (44 %)	0.009
RARP	147 (64 %)	215 (56 %)
T stage			0.51
pT1	0 (0 %)	3 (1 %)
pT2	200 (87 %)	328 (85 %)
pT3, pT4	30 (13 %)	54 (14 %)
Pathological Gleason score			0.71
4-6	86 (37 %)	139 (36 %)
7	123 (53 %)	211 (55 %)
8-10	21 (9 %)	36 (9 %)

^aMedian [Minimum, Maximum] is given for continuous measures, and N (%) for categorical measures
^bP-values for age at surgery and Gleason score are based on Wilcoxon Rank Sum test. P-values given for T-stage are based on Fisher’s Exact test
PCa = prostate cancer
QoL = quality of life
RRP = Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy
RARP = Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
