Physical activity before radical prostatectomy reduces sick leave after surgery - results from a prospective, non-randomized controlled clinical trial (LAPPRO)

Table 3 Unadjusted and adjusted analysis of the relationship between physical activity and sick leave

	Unadjusted OR (95 % CI)	p-value	Adjusted OR (95 % CI)^a	p-value
Sometimes (1-2 times a week) versus Often (3-4 times a week)	0.66 (0.41-1.05)	p = 0.079	0.73 (0.45-1.20)	p = 0.215
Sometimes (1-2 times a week) versus Daily or almost daily (5-7 times a week)	0.45 (0.29-0.70)	p = 0.0004	0.49 (0.30-0.78)	p = 0.003
Often (3-4 times a week) versus Daily or almost daily (5-7 times a week)	0.68 (0.44-1.06)	p = 0.083	0.66 (0.42-1.05)	p = 0.080

^aAdjusted for possible confounders using multivariable logistic regression models both with logit-link and log-link functions. Factors being significant at the five percent level in univariable analyses were all included in the base multivariable model; other factors were entered one at the time in order to evaluate their effect on the association between level of physical activity and sick leave. Adjusted for educational level, age, ASA-classification, alcohol consumption, smoking, BMI and surgical technique
