  1. Validation set 1 contains all prostatectomy cases from the Biobank Graz between 1995 and 2014. Validation set 2 was derived by first considering cases in the Gleason grading era at the institution (years 2000–2014; n = 2191), and then further filtering for cases where a Gleason score was recorded and available in the pathology report (n = 1517).
