  1. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, BMI body mass index
  2. Continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy was defined as pad-free (complete continence)
  3. Logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis
  4. P value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant
