  • Results are weighted by country, age at diagnosis and time since diagnosis.

  • Higher symptom scores indicate more/worse symptoms or, where appropriate, better functioning or quality of life.

  • *Logistic regression model adjusted for current age, number of comorbidities, time since diagnosis and method of diagnosis.

  • †Logistic regression model adjusted for age, number of comorbidities, time since diagnosis, method of diagnosis, treatment type—prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy and androgen deprivation therapy.

  • ‡Significant difference between countries.
