  • * Variables were evaluated independently in multivariate analysis to avoid collinearity instability.

  • OR = odds ratio; Ref = reference value; NS = not significant; PSA = prostate-specific antigen; ISUP = International Society of Urological Pathology; PSMA-TV = PSMA tumor volume; TL-PSMA = total lesion PSMA.

  • Qualitative data are number and percentage. Continuous data are median and interquartile range. OR data are number and 95% CI in parentheses.
