Development and validation of a predictive model based on clinical and MpMRI findings to reduce additional systematic prostate biopsy

ConclusionsThe combined model based on clinical and mpMRI findings improved csPCa prediction and might be useful in making a decision about which patient could safely avoid unnecessary SB in addition to MRTB in biopsy-na ïve patients.Critical relevance statementThe combined model based on clinical and mpMRI findings improved csPCa prediction and might be useful in making a decision about which patient could safely avoid unnecessary SB in addition to MRTB in biopsy-na ïve patients.Key points• Age, PSAD, PI-RADS score, and peripheral index lesion were independent predictors of csPCa.• Risk models were used to predict the probability of detecting csPCa on cognitive MRTB.• The combined model might reduce 43.8% of unnecessary SBs, while missing 2.9% csPCa.Graphical Abstract
