aOne patient died during the observation period, so no outcome was recorded. bMeasured 12 months after inclusion with the ‘general health’ subscale of the RAND-36: five items, measured on a 5-point Likert-scale. cThree patients were referred back to the urologist and one saw the urologist because he inadvertently received a letter that he had missed his follow-up visit at the hospital.
