Risk of prostate cancer (PCa)-specific mortality by the post-diagnostic use of antihypertensive drugs after diagnosis of PCa.

Users stratified into tertiles by cumulative intensity of the use (DDD values/years of the use). Cox regression model was adjusted with age, FinRSPC trial arm (screening arm and control arm), year of diagnosis, cancer clinical characteristics (T stage, metastasis, and Gleason grade), Charlson comorbidity index, use of statins, antidiabetic drugs, anticoagulants, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, aspirin and other NSAIDs. ACE inhibitors = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; ATr blockers = angiotensin II receptor type 1 blockers; HR (95% CI) = hazard ratio with 95% confidence intervals.
