Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Biochemical recurrence rate within two years after surgery, defined as a PSA > 0.2 ng/ml. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Total number of ePLNDs and PSMA PET/CTs performed and their intervention-related healthcare costs, costs of complication-related interventions and associated (prolonged) hospital stay - Total nodes resected during ePLND and number of positive and negative nodes. - Modification of ePLND template; resected nodes within and outside of the normal ePLND template - Occurrence of pelvic lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (visceral, bone, distant lymph nodes, pelvic lymph nodes) on PSMA-PET/CT during follow-up - Initiation of salvage therapy - Metastasis-free survival - Hormone-therapy free survival - Patient-reported outcome measures (EPIC-26) - Quality of life (EQ-5D questionnaire) - Medical consumption costs using the Medical Consumption Questionnaire (MCQ) - Productivity losses using the productivity Cost Questionnaire (PCQ) - Diagnostic accuracy measures | — |
