© British Association of Urological Surgeons 2022. Objective: To update and externally validate a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based nomogram for predicting prostate biopsy outcomes with a multi-centre cohort. Materials and methods: Prospective data from five UK-based centres were analysed. All men were biopsy naïve. Those with missing data, no MRI, or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) > 30 ng/mL were excluded. Logistic regression analysis was used to confirm predictors of prostate cancer outcomes including MRI-PIRADS (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System) score, PSA density, and age. Clinically significant disease was defined as International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Grade Group ⩾ 2 (Gleason grade ⩾ 7). Biopsy strategy included transrectal and transperineal approaches. Nomograms were produced using logistic regression analysis results. Results: A total of 506 men were included in the analysis with median age 66 (interquartile range (IQR) = 60–69). Median PSA was 6.6 ng/mL (IQR = 4.72–9.26). PIRADS ⩾ 3 was reported in 387 (76.4%). Grade Group ⩾ 2 detection was 227 (44.9%) and 318 (62.8%) for any cancer. Performance of the MRI-based nomogram was an area under curve (AUC) of 0.84 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.81–0.88) for Grade Group ⩾ 2% and 0.85 (95% CI = 0.82–0.88) for any prostate cancer. Conclusion: We present external validation of a novel MRI-based nomogram in a multi-centre UK-based cohort, showing good discrimination in identifying men at high risk of having clinically significant disease. These findings support this risk calculator use in the prostate biopsy decision-making process. Level of evidence: 2c.
