Fig. 2 Observed (open circles) and predicted (filled circles) trajectories for the probability of occurrence of problems with urination, across the 25 weeks of the study, in a) whites compared with b) nonwhites and in patients who d) did and c) did not report pain at the initiation of radiation therapy.

Fig. 3 Observed (open symbols) and predicted (filled symbols) trajectories for the probability of severity ratings for problems with a) urination, b) pain, c) lack of energy, d) feeling drowsy, e) difficulty sleeping, and f) diarrhea across the 25 weeks of the study. Severity ratings are plotted as none vs. slight to very severe and none/slight vs. moderate to very severe.

Fig. 5 Observed (open symbols) and predicted (filled symbols) trajectories for the probability of distress ratings for problems with a) urination, b) pain, c) lack of energy, d) feeling drowsy, e) difficulty sleeping, and f) diarrhea across the 25 weeks of the study.
