  3. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.001
  4. a Denominator excludes other and missing method of presentation
  5. b Determined using multivariable logistic regression adjusted for other variables in the table plus nation, deprivation, number of comorbidities, BMI, ethnicity, marital status and employment status. An odds ratio greater than 1 represents a greater odds than the baseline (i.e. first) group of being symptomatic compared to PSA-detected
  6. c Men may have more than one type of treatment. Odds ratios for treatment type have a reference category of not receiving that treatment type (i.e. No surgery, No EBRT etc.)
