Fig. 1 Time to prostate cancer adverse effect by treatment group. Kaplan-Meier graph for time to prostate cancer diagnosis by treatment group. Time to prostate cancer was significantly longer for combination therapy versus tamsulosin monotherapy (p=0.006) and dutasteride monotherapy versus tamsulosin monotherapy (p=0.021). The relative risk reduction (RRR) was 43% for combination versus tamsulosin (95% confidence interval [CI], 15–62%) and 37% for dutasteride versus tamsulosin (95% CI, 6–57%). When results from the dutasteride arms were pooled, there was a 1.5% absolute risk reduction and a 40% RRR versus tamsulosin (95% CI, 16–57%; p=0.002).
