Predicting prostate cancer metastasis in Ghana: Comparison of multiparametric and PSA models
Both models effectively predict metastasis in prostate cancer patients. The multiparametric model shows superior overall performance with higher Pseudo R-Squared, AUC, and a better balance in sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. These results suggest the multiparametric model as a more robust tool for metastasis risk assessment in resource-poor settings. However, clinical context and patient characteristics should guide model choice for optimal outcomes.
