These male persons were then matched with a non\u2010prostatitis group who did not have a diagnosis of prostatitis by using 1:1 propensity score matching on age and relevant comorbidities. All participants were observed either until a new diagnosis of herpes zoster was noted or until the completion of the study period in 2020.
