Evidence selection

For the clinical evidence

  • Total number of publications reviewed: 71

  • Total number of publications considered relevant: 19

  • Total number of publications selected for inclusion in this briefing: 9

Shore et al. 2016 has been included instead of Shore et al. 2014 as this provides better quality evidence for the effect of Prolaris on change in treatment. Shore et al. 2014 is a relatively small study in terms of number of clinicians and is based on intention. Shore et al. 2016 evaluates actual treatment decisions so has more weight.

For the economic evidence

  • Total abstracts: 14

  • Duplicates: 4

  • Abstracts reviewed: 10

  • Full papers reviewed: 4

  • Studies for review: 2

Exclusion criteria: case studies, editorials, letters, reviews, animal studies, non-English language studies.
