Table 4 Biopsies avoided and test trade-off results for the constructed models to predict csPCa using different risk thresholds

From: Development and validation of a nomogram based on biparametric MRI PI-RADS v2.1 and clinical parameters to avoid unnecessary prostate biopsies

Different risk thresholds

Clinical model

bpMRI PI-RADS v2.1-based model

Overall biopsies avoided

Detected csPCa without unnecessary biopsies

Test trade-off, patients biopsied per detected csPCa

Overall biopsies avoided

Additional csPCa detected (without a change in unnecessary biopsies) when using the bpMRI PI-RADS v2.1-based model

rather than the clinical model

Test trade-off, patients undergoing bpMRI per avoided unnecessary biopsy
