For the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer, incorporating PSA density into PI‐RADS‐based assessment improved clinical net benefit compared with PI‐RADS alone. The addition of DRE and age to this combined model produced only marginal further gain, indicating that most of the incremental clinical value was derived from PSA density rather
