Additional file 6:

bootstrap ci for difference in 10 vs 250 bcr learning curve.do. This is a Stata "do" file - statistical programming code - that uses bootstrap resampling to construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in adjusted 5-year probability of biochemical recurrence for a patient treated by a surgeon with 10 vs 250 prior cases[6].

Additional file 7:

sensitivity analysis patients treated after 1995 bcr learning curve.do. This is a Stata "do" file - statistical programming code - that performs the same analysis as done in "02 primary analysis bcr learning curve.do", except that the cohort is restricted to patients treated after 1995.

Additional file 8:

sensitivity analysis surgeons with at least 100 total cases bcr learning curve.do. This is a Stata "do" file - statistical programming code - that performs the same analysis as done in "02 primary analysis bcr learning curve.do", except that the cohort is restricted to surgeons who completed at least 100 total cases.

Additional file 11:

heterogeneity in bcr by surgeon.do. This is a Stata "do" file - statistical programming code - that performs a multivariable random-effects model to evaluate heterogeneity between surgeons in biochemical recurrence outcomes after adjustment for case-mix and surgeon experience[9].

Additional file 12:

forest plot bcr by surgeon.do. This is a Stata "do" file - statistical programming code - that obtains the adjusted 5-year predicted probability of freedom from biochemical recurrence for each surgeon; obtains a combined estimate across all surgeons using meta-analytic methods, and shows the probabilities and 95% confidence intervals for each surgeon as a forest plot[9].
