Popis: | was followed by an inverse change of equal or greater magnitude. To determine clinically meaningful variation, we used an increase of 1ng/ mL that was followed by a decrease of equal magnitude across measurements. The association between each measure of variation and number of PSA measurements was assessed using linear regression. RESULTS: In 541 men studied, the cumulative incidence of discontinuing AS for definitive treatment within 5 years was 13%. Among 251(46%) patients who reached a PSA of 7ng/mL, 186(74%) decreased from this threshold at least once. 417 (77%) patients reached a PSA of 4ng/mL but their PSA measurements fluctuated around this threshold less often. In patients who reached a PSA of 4ng/ mL or 7ng/mL, the number of PSA measurements was significantly associated with the frequency of variation across each threshold (p |
