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.

Abstract

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.
