Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This retrospective study aims to assess the clinical and economic impact of early initiation of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (5ARI) therapy in patients with enlarged prostate (EP) receiving 5ARI monotherapy or combination therapy with an alpha-blocker (AB) compared to late initiation of 5ARI therapy in patients receiving combination therapy. The Henry Ford Health System databases will be utilized for this study (2000-2008).
