Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) The number of prostate biopsies which are avoided by use of an mpMRI (multiparametric MRI) will be determined. 2) The detection rate of clinically insignificant carcinoma (Gleason 6) with positive mpMRI findings will be determined. 3) The rate of missed clinically significant carcinoma with negative mpMRI findings will be determined. Follow-up three years | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Estimation of the detection rate of clinically significant PCa of cognitive fusion biopsy and software-based MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy. 2. Estimation of number and rate of complications of cognitive fusion biopsy and software-based MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy. 3. Correlation of results of different biopsy techniques and prostatectomy with results of mpMRI. 4. Estimation of number and rate of mpMRI examinations that theoretically could be avoided using the score of the Rotterdam risk calculator for stratification. 5. Evaluation of psychological distress experienced by patients before mpMRI and after diagnosis of PCa. | — |
