Abstract

Introduction: As part of the PIONEER Consortium, we will explore which diagnostic and prognostic factors (DPFs) are currently being researched to previously defined clinical and patient-reported outcomes for prostate cancer (PCa).
Methods and analysis: This research project will follow the following four steps: (1) a broad systematic literature review of DPFs for all stages of PCa, covering evidence from 2014 onwards; (2) discussion of systematic review findings by a multidisciplinary expert panel; (3) Risk of bias assessment and applicability with PROBAST (Prediction model Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool) criteria, QUADAS-2 and QUIPS; (4) additional quantitative assessments if required.
Ethics and Dissemination: We aim to develop an online tool to present the DPFs identified in this research and make them available across all stakeholders. There are no ethical implications.
