Table 4 Correlation between 1-month, 3-month, and 7-month abiraterone trough levels and prostate-specific antigen levels stratified by obesity vs non-obesity.
| Correlation (PSA, AA) | Spearman rank correlation | P value | Spearman correlation | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Obese (BMI >30) | Non-obese (BMI <30) | |||
| 1 Month | 0.2 | 0.7 | 0.2000 | 0.75 |
| 3 Months | −0.7 | 0.19 | −0.6000 | 0.40 |
| 7 Months | −0.00 | 1.0 | – | |
| BMI – body mass index, PSA – prostate-specific antigen; AA – abiraterone acetate. | ||||
