  • * Analysis of association between PET variables and THTF.

  • Includes all 4 PET variables as independent variables.

  • Includes only PET variables that are associated with THTF at P ≤ 0.05 after controlling for each other.

  • Reports association between SUVmax or number of baseline disease sites with THTF after adjusting for clinical variables including age, baseline Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen level, and alkaline phosphatase level.

  • HR = hazard ratio.

  • Data in parentheses are 95% CIs.
