Table 1.

Estimated mean and standard deviation (SD), of the number of biopsies NjS conducted until Gleason reclassification (GR) is detected, and of the offset OjS (difference in time at which GR is detected and the true time of GR, in months), for the simulated (500 datasets) test patients, across different schedules and subgroups. Patients in subgroup G1 have the fastest prostate cancer progression rate, whereas patients in subgroup G3 have the slowest progression rate. Types of personalized schedules (full names in brackets): Exp. GR time (expected time of GR), Med. GR time (median time of GR), Dyn. risk GR (schedules based on dynamic risk of GR), hybrid (a hybrid approach between median time of GR and dynamic risk of GR). Annual corresponds to a schedule of yearly biopsies and PRIAS corresponds to biopsies as per PRIAS protocol
