Effect of antihypertensive drugs on initiation of hormonal therapy for treatment of prostate cancer in Finnish men.

Cox regression hazard 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. ADT = androgen deprivation therapy; ACE inhibitors = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; ATr blockers = angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers; HR (95% CI) = hazard ratio with 95% confidence intervals.
