  • The most significant demographic risk factors included white race and ASA Grade 3/4, with specific incidence rates reported.
  • Multivariate analysis identified white race and HoLEP morcellation time as significant predictors of incidental prostate cancer diagnosis.
  • These findings emphasize the need for tailored preoperative counseling based on demographic risk factors.
