CAPRA scoring
According to the CAPRA scoring, patients were divided into 3 groups as
low, intermediate and high risk. Scoring was done according to
preoperative total PSA value, GS pattern, clinical T stage, percentage
of positive biopsy cores and age 10. Accordingly, the
total PSA value between 2.1-6 ng / dl was given 0 point, 6.1-10 ng / dl
1 point, 10.1-20 ng / dl 2 points, 20.1-30 ng / dl 3 points and above 30
ng / dl. 4 points. A score of 0 was given to the patient with no GS
pattern, 1 point to the patient with a seconder GS pattern of 4 or 5,
and 2 points to the patient with a primary GS pattern of 4 or 5. The
patient with clinical T stage 1-2 was given a score of 0 and to the
patient with 3a 1 point. A score of 0 was given to the patient whose
positive core percentage was below 34, and 1 point to the patient with a
higher core percentage. Lastly, a score of 0 was given to patients under
the age of 50 and 1 point to patients over the age of 50. 0-2 points
were defined as low risk, 3-5 points as intermediate risk, and 6 and
above points as high risk.
