ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram to predict the probability of prostate cancer (PCa) after transperineal prostate biopsy by combining patient clinical information and biomarkers.MethodsFirst, we retrospectively collected the clinicopathologic data from 475 patients who underwent prostate biopsy at our hospital between January 2019 to August 2021. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to select risk factors. Then, we established the nomogram prediction model based on the risk factors. The model performance was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration plots and the Hosmer–Lemeshow test. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the net benefit of the model at different threshold probabilities. The model was validated in an independent cohort of 197 patients between September 2021 and June 2022.ResultsThe univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses based on the development cohort indicated that the model should include the following factors: age (OR = 1.056, p = 0.001), NEUT (OR = 0.787, p = 0.008), HPR (OR = 0.139, p < 0.001), free/total (f/T) PSA (OR = 0.013, p = 0.015), and PI-RADS (OR = 3.356, p < 0.001). The calibration curve revealed great agreement. The internal nomogram validation showed that the C-index was 0.851 (95% CI 0.809-0.894). Additionally, the AUC was 0.851 (95% CI 0.809-0.894), and the Hosmer–Lemeshow test result presented p = 0.143 > 0.05. Finally, according to decision curve analysis, the model was clinically beneficial.ConclusionHerein, we provided a nomogram combining patients’ clinical data with biomarkers to help diagnose prostate cancers. |
