We evaluated the influence of the following variables on UC and EF 1\u00a0year after RP: time from biopsy to RP, age, BMI, pathological T-stage, EF and intraoperative nerve sparing (unilateral vs. bilateral). For this purpose, we performed linear regression analyses as well as manual grouping and cluster analyses to identify possible temporal cutoff ranges. The EPIC-26 and the IIEF questionnaires were used for the assessment of UC and EF.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We identified 6202 consecutive patients who underwent RP.
