1 The Comparability of Models for Predicting the Risk of a Positive Prostate Biopsy with Prostate-Specific Antigen Alone: A Systematic Review  Fritz Schröder, Michael W.

2 Fig. 1 Comparison of risk curves predicting positive biopsies for prostate cancer from five nomograms. Purple: PCPT [31]; red: Nam et al [27,43]; blue: Optenberg et al;[14] green: Eastham et al [17]; orange: Karakiewicz et al [25]. See Methods section for description of upper and lower curves for each model. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2008 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Risk of a positive biopsy and 95% confidence intervals at a PSA level of 2.5ng/ml in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Study (PCPT) population (for-cause and end-of-study biopsies) modified by other risk factors [31]. FH=family history (+, yes; −, no); DRE=digital rectal examination (+, suspicious; −, unsuspicious); PB=previous biopsy (+, yes; −, no).
