Probability of a) prostate cancer and (b) Gleason ≥7 disease in various ranges of Beckman Coulter phi (WHO calibrations)

a)
phi Range (WHO calibration) Probability of Cancer (95% Confidence Interval) Relative Risk (95% Confidence Interval) Percent of patients in phi range

0-28.9 11.3% (6.8% - 16.0%) 1.0 26.8%
29.0-39.9 18.0% (13.4% - 22.8%) 1.6 (1.0 - 2.9) 31.4%
40.0-61.9 34.0% (28.2% - 39.5%) 3.0 (1.9 - 5.3) 28.3%
62+ 49.6% (40.0% - 59.5%) 4.4 (2.8 - 8.1) 13.5%
b)
Gleason Score on Biopsy among Cancer Patients (N=429)
phi Range (WHO calibration) Less than 7 n (%) ≥7 n (%) Risk Ratio (95% CI)
0-28.9 40 (78.4) 11 (21.6) 1.0
29.0-39.9 68 (69.4) 30 (30.6) 1.4 (0.8, 2.6)
