Fig. 3 Mean change in quasi-American Urological Association Symptom Score over 6 yr of finasteride treatment in men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia [20]. The first year was double-blind with the subsequent 5 yr open-label. European Urology Supplements 2007 6, 460-466DOI: (10.1016/j.eursup.2007.01.011) Copyright © 2007 Terms and Conditions
Fig. 4 Mean change in American Urological Association Symptom Index scores (A) and Qmax (B) from baseline over 48 mo from the open-label extension study to the phase 3 programme with dutasteride [23]. Line with striped squares=placebo/dutasteride-treated subjects (P/D); line with dotted squares=dutasteride/dutasteride-treated subjects (D/D). For panel A, *p<0.001 between treatment groups; †p<0.001 for differences for both treatment groups from month 24. For panel B, *p<0.001 between treatment groups; ‡p=0.032 between treatment groups; †p=0.042 between treatment groups; ¤p<0.001 versus month 24; §p=0.039 versus month 24; ×p=0.007 versus month 24.
