Prognostic Index for Predicting Prostate Cancer Survival in a Randomized Screening Trial: Development and Validation.

ABSTRACT: We developed and validated a prognostic index to predict survival from prostate cancer (PCa) based on the Finnish randomized screening trial (FinRSPC). Men diagnosed with localized PCa (N = 7042) were included. European Association of Urology risk groups were defined. The follow-up was divided into three periods (0-3, 3-9 and 9-20 years) for development and two corresponding validation periods (3-6 and 9-15 years). A multivariable complementary log-log regression model was used to calculate the full prognostic index. Predicted cause-specific survival at 10 years from diagnosis was calculated for the control arm using a simplified risk score at diagnosis. The full prognostic index discriminates well men with PCa with different survival. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.83 for both the 3
