Signs of disease progression (28%) and conversion to active treatment without evidence of disease progression (13%) were the main reasons for discontinuation. We aimed to develop a nomogram to be used as a prediction tool for outcomes in men with localised prostate cancer (PCa) on AS. METHODS: As a first step in the development of a nomogram, we assessed heterogeneity between centres in terms of discontinuation due to disease progression. We started with the assessment of the baseline hazards for disease progression based on grouping of GAP3 centres according to similarities in follow-up protocols [high: yearly; intermediate: ∼2 yearly; and low: at year 1, 4 & 7 (i.e. PRIAS)]. We conducted cause-specific Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate the risk of disease progression by centre in each group. We then evaluated heterogeneity of prevalence of clinical factors and their relationship to disease progression with univariate and multivariate hazard ratios by centre. RESULTS: 14,380 men were included. Heterogeneity analysis for the risk of disease progression showed large differences in risk of upgrading between centres (median HR: 2.5). Next, we assessed how clinical factors such as age (</≥70 years), year of diagnosis (</≥2010), Gleason grade group (</≥2), number of positive cores (</≥2), and PSA (</≥7 ng/mL) were predictors of disease progression for each centre. After adjustment for these clinical factors, the heterogeneity in risk of disease progression remained between the centres (Figure 1). CONCLUSIONS: When combining worldwide cohorts of men on AS, we noted unexplained differences in baseline hazards of disease progression. However, the relative effects of patient characteristics on risk of disease progression were fairly stable between centres. This indicates that it is possible to develop a global nomogram in future, provided that local adjustments for differences in risk of disease progression and competing risks (e.g. watchful waiting, conversion to active treatment, or death) are taken into account for these observed differences in baseline hazards or reasons for these differences are examined further.
