CI: confidence interval; G: International Society of Urological Pathology grade; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; MRI‐pathway: magnetic resonance imaging with or without magnetic resonance imaging‐targeted biopsy; N: number; NA: not applicable; NNB: number needed to biopsy; SBx: systematic biopsy |
aNumber needed to biopsy by systematic biopsy is 100 divided by the added value of systematic biopsy.
