Table 3.

Comparative prognostic model performance in a large population cohort (n = 10,139) between the original risk group allocation and a simulated reassignment of risk allocation by applying the observed differences from Table 2 between clinical based characterisation (DRE + systematic sampling only) versus MRI based characterisation (MRI staging and combined MRI targeted and systematic sampling). European Association of Urology (EAU), American Urological Association, Cambridge Prognostic Group (CPG). *Death due only to prostate cancer
