PSA density does not improve predictive accuracy of the UCSF-CAPRA score.

In a 2880 patient cohort followed for median 45 months after RP, alternate CAPRA model using PSA density was associated with higher biochemical recurrence (BCR) risk, but performed inferior to standard CAPRA at predicting BCR. While PSA density is an established prognostic variable in prediagnostic settings and sub-stratifying low-risk disease, it does not improve BCR model predictive accuracy when applied across a range of cancer risk.
