- ‡The models were adjusted for inverse probability weight, baseline bother of the respective function, age, SEIFA score, PSA level, risk category and primary symptoms
- All analyses were with the weighted sample
- aOR, adjusted odds ratio from ordinal logistic regression models of 12-month post-treatment bothers (five categories: no, very small, small, moderate and big bothers)
- ¥The brachytherapy group was not included in the model because there were very small counts in brachytherapy group
- *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
