时间窗: Baseline period = Up to 1 year prior to index date; available data observed retrospectively over 178 days in this study

Number of participants according to treatments received previously such as pain medication, androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, androgen deprivation therapy, chronic oral corticosteroid use, non-steroidal anti-androgen, radiotherapy, olaparib, prostatectomy and chemotherapy in the baseline period were reported in this outcome measure. Baseline period was 1 year prior to index date; index date was the initiation date of relugolix (anytime between 18-Dec-2020 to 31-Dec-2023) on or after the first observed prostate cancer diagnosis. One participant could have received more than 1 treatment.

Number of Participants According to Metastasis Status

时间窗: Baseline period = Up to 1 year prior to index date or within 90 days after the index date; available data observed retrospectively over 178 days in this study

Number of participants according to metastasis status (metastatic prostate cancer and non-metastatic prostate cancer) were reported in this outcome measure. Metastatic prostate cancer was defined as having evidence of during the baseline period or within 90 days after the index date. Baseline period was 1 year prior to index date; index date was the initiation date of relugolix (anytime between 18-Dec-2020 to 31-Dec-2023) on or after the first observed prostate cancer diagnosis.

Number of Participants According to Site of Metastasis

时间窗: Baseline period = Up to 1 year prior to index date or within 90 days after the index date; available data observed retrospectively over 178 days in this study

Number of participants with a metastatic diagnosis at the sites: bone only, node only, bone and node, viscera and other (urinary organs, genital organs, skin, kidney, adrenal, brain, spinal, and other nervous system), were reported among participants with metastatic prostate cancer. Metastatic prostate cancer was defined as having evidence of metastasis any time prior to the index date or within 90 days after the index date. Baseline period was 1 year prior to index date; index date was the initiation date of relugolix (anytime between 18-Dec-2020 to 31-Dec-2023) on or after the first observed prostate cancer diagnosis.

Number of Participants According to Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Status

时间窗: Any time prior to index date including baseline period (approximately maximum up to 18 years); available data observed retrospectively over 178 days in this study

ADT naïve was defined as having no records of any systemic ADT ever based on all available data prior to the index date (i.e., including baseline period data and any available data prior to the baseline period). Systemic ADT included luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists (i.e., degarelix, relugolix, goserelin, histrelin, leuprolide, triptorelin). ADT experienced was defined as having any records of systemic ADT based on all available data prior to the index date (i.e., including baseline period data and any available data prior to the baseline period). Baseline period was 1 year prior to index date; index date was the initiation date of relugolix (anytime between 18-Dec-2020 to 31-Dec-2023) on or after the first observed prostate cancer diagnosis.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Value at 180 Days Prior to Index Date

时间窗: 180 days prior to Index date; data observed retrospectively over 178 days in this study

The index date was defined as the initiation date of relugolix (anytime between 18-Dec-2020 to 31-Dec-2023) on or after the first observed PC diagnosis.

Testosterone Value at 180 Days Prior to Index Date

时间窗: 180 days prior to Index date; data observed retrospectively over 178 days in this study

The index date was defined as the initiation date of relugolix (anytime between 18-Dec-2020 to 31-Dec-2023) on or after the first observed PC diagnosis.

Mean National Cancer Institute (NCI) Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) Score

时间窗: Baseline period = Up to 1 year prior to index date or within 90 days after the index date; available data observed retrospectively over 178 days in this study

CCI based on various comorbid conditions such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatologic disease, peptic ulcer disease, mild liver disease, diabetes (mild to moderate), diabetes + complications, hemiplegia or paraplegia, renal disease, any malignancy (lymphoma and leukemia), moderate/severe liver disease, metastatic solid tumor, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) were reported. CCI score range was from 0 to 14, where "0"= low comorbid condition and "14"= high comorbid condition, higher scores indicated more comorbidity. Baseline period was 1 year prior to index date; index date was the initiation date of relugolix (anytime between 18-Dec-2020 to 31-Dec-2023) on or after the first observed prostate cancer diagnosis.
