| The detection rate and sensitivity are the primary outcomes of this study. The detection rate is defined as the number of patients where there are findings in PET / CT-PSMA HBED-Ga68. Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of true positive individuals among patients (men with prostatectomy - PSA> 0.2 ng / ml and men with radiotherapy - PSA> 2.0 ng / ml); that is; positive for standard imaging (scintigraphy, MRI, CT PET with FDG-F-18) and the PET / CT with HBED-PSMA-Ga68. A total of 200 men will be included in the study. For this number of participants, it was considered margin of error estimates for proportion (p) = 0.50 (the maximum error) and p = 0.80 in the correlation measures and accuracy in different scenarios. To measure the correlation between methods beyond the nominal proportion of correct answers we will use the weighted Kappa statistic and its respective 95% confidence interval. For the sensitivity and detection rate will use the binomial distribution and their 95% confidence intervals. Categorical variables are summarized by frequency distributions (number and percentage of patients). Continuous variables are summarized as average and standard deviation. The above analyzes are also carried out stratified according to clinical groups defined by PSA levels, Gleason score, performing prostatectomy and performing curative radiotherapy. All analyzes will be performed using SPSS version 22.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL). A 95% confidence interval will be calculated using Fisher's exact method of intervals. All analyzes will be performed using SPSS version 22.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL). | — |
